When she saw an 18 year old boy on a six hour flight carrying a newborn with its umbilical cord still attached with a single bottle of milk and two diapers in his coat pocket, she had tried to report it, but she couldn't find anyone to help. That's when she realized something needed to be done.

Fiorini joined forces with Deborah Sigmund, founder of a nonprofit organization that fights child exploitation and human trafficking, to educate airline employees and create a human trafficking hotline. Airlines employees are the first line of defense for protecting the countless children who are trafficked on major flights each day.

The State Department estimates 2 million women and children are victims of human trafficking every year. There are more slaves today than any other time in human history: Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, second only to drug trafficking. And while drugs can be sold once, a person can be sold several times a day. It's a business that brings in an estimated $150 billion every year.

The race hustlers in the US don’t sell people — they sell guilt.

Human trafficing starts in the other countries whose officials turn a blind eye to the crimes. They are, no doubt, PART OF IT and may be financially benefitting from it as well.

Also, somewhere there is the mother who has had "help" from those close to her so she could sell her baby. Young women aren't ALWAYS the helpless victims. Some go willingly into the fray for whatever horrible reason. Satan's work, all of it.

Can the passenger speak for themselves, or is someone with them controlling what they say? Does the passenger avoid eye contact? Do they appear fearful, anxious, tense, depressed, nervous, submissive?

Could be she's just another Muslim travelling with a male family member.
