Let me tell you. If I was there I would have created one hell of a scene at that airport. Screw them ! After 9/11 all bets are off . I don't care who don't like it , I would have started a riot .
I swear I read something ages ago if passengers felt threatend by another passenger that it was in the airline's right to remove this passenger. I think there had to be multiple complaints before it could happen. Am I crazy here?
I would have simply decided to deplane, after wacking a couple of them up along side of their heads with my carry on...and I mean HARD.
If this is what you mean by riot, then I am with you!
These POSs should have been thumped.
Something I can't understand about this situation; if so much suspicious activity was happening before boarding, why in the hell would ANYBODY board.
