Don't over react, we are not talking middle east type terrorist here. Hawaii and some other states likely have laws for which the term is used for any type of threat intended to alarm a person or threaten a person.
The words "next time I will run you over" or pulling up behind a cyclist and jumping the car forward while revving the engine could be prosecuted as "terroristic threatening".
In Toronto, maybe they call it 'alarming threatening'.
