The twitterdetails module will now check if the account is set to protected (aka private tweets) and skips trying to parse any tweet statistics. After some consideration, in this case I have decided to leave the error message in the json output. This will allow the (datasploit) user to easily determine that twitter account is actually protected, and not that the account hasn't posted any tweets to date.
