First, many people think airport security is over the top. (I don't and I fly every week)
Second, many people miss connections and feel the airlines don't give a damn about it.
Third, Gotbaum has been portrayed as this innocent, svelte home-maker by the media. If you listen to the report, they make her out to be oh-so-sweet. The truth is she had alchol and depression issues her whole life. She drank at the airport bar and missed her connection because of her drinking, not because she was late arriving.
Lastly, Gotbaum is a very connected NY labor family: read liberal.
Oh, I hadn’t really paid much attention to who she was really. Makes more sense now.
two pathologists were on FOX this morning...both said that there was NO way she could have stangled herself, and more likely there was pressure put on her back or her chest that caused aphysxia......she was the mother of three children for crying out loud......
I've said this on another thread....some cops get their rocks off by restraining females, especially younger ones, and especially if they are good looking..
From the post: She landed in Phoenix at approximately 1:15 p.m. Arizona time.... With 90 minutes to go for her connecting flight, Gotbaum went to eat lunch at the airport.
That struck me as odd, that a person can miss a connection with 90 minutes between flights.
Even at O'Hare, landing at terminal 3 you can get the F gates in less time then that.
I wonder how longe before some people step up and testify that she was drinking in one of the bars at Sky Harbor. I log about 75-90K miles a year and have never missed a connection when given that kind of time.
