Maybe TSA was looking the other way because she looked Middle Eastern? I mean, hundreds would die, but atleast they could meet their maker with the wholesome good feeling that nobody had their feeling hurt.
She's not middle eastern; she's from Vermont. She has 3 children from a previous marriage and grandchildren. She's 59 years old, a journalist, and had visited Pakistan earlier because of an online relationship she'd developed with a Pakistani.
This all came from an earlier thread on this topic. What's written here pretty much confirms the details outlined earlier. A couple FReepers came up with articles about her which pretty much identified who she is.
Is TSA in foreign airports for US bound flights? I was surprised last year when coming back from France through Canada, that I went through US Customs in Toronto.
I don't think the TSA screens folks boarding flights in London.
