The women in the article are American citizens.
Until somebody contradicts their version, it's six hours.
For some, six hours without food and water is a hardship. I wouldn't do it voluntarily. Would it have been difficult to give them food and water?
What took Homeland Security so long to resolve this?
Sorry, my give a damn's been busted for a while and just cannot get it to work.
If it took six hours to process these people, the "officials" weren't trained.
OK, it's not illegal to investigate folks who belong to a cult that wishes to overthrow the United States.
Did they have on mooselimb uniforms?
I don't think so. I'm used to delays when I travel. I just carry a book. However if I was getting detained with other Americans because my own had blown some stuff up I would be very verbal about not having anything to do with those people.
I didn't notice there were 250 people detained. I think that may answer the question why it took so long to process them.
Fear. These agents didn't know what they were doing.
About friggin time! If the Pennsylvania Dutch start causing problems, we should profile them too!
Don't like it? Then go home!
I fast at least 6 hours every night.
I re-checked. 200 plus them. Their count.
They were home. The girls and their mother in this article are Americans.
You're not quarantined in a smelly airport when you do it, though.
The wife and I were in the Czech Republic when 9/11 went down, and we were on the first Lufthansa flight to land at SFO (San Francisco) about 5 days later. We flew from Prague to Munich and then to SFO. Boarding scrutiny in Prague was tight, but Munich screening was tighter than a bull's ass at fly time, thank you. The German airport security was (hush) profiling!, and we sat at the boarding ramp for about an hour past departure time as passengers obviously of a (hush) certain ethnic group trickled onto the plane. Comforting? Yes. Did we care a whit about their feelings? Not one freaking iota.
We still travel to and from the CZR, and we still see profiling of certain ethnic groups in Prague and Munich/Frankfurt. Is this wrong? NO!! It comes with the territory, now that their countrymen have decided to wage terrorist war upon the rest of civilization. So live with it, certain ethnic groups, or YOU figure out some way to keep your scumbags off of my airplane. At some point in time, and I pray not because of another 9/11, our ACLU rear end kissing libs will understand that our best airport defense is to profile instead of wasting valuable screening resources on strip searches of babies and grannies in wheelchairs.
Six hours is not enough, a person can go for a week or more without water and a month or more without food. Get serious! Poor babies, these!

Yeah, I see what you mean. Smelly airports always make me hungry:')
