The question [to the gate attendant] that got me into trouble was, 'Isn't it a security risk to let my bag travel without the passenger when there could be a bomb in the bag?'" Baez said.

Guess what lady, saying "there could be a bomb" is going to be considered a threat.

Guess what, v/o: I fail to see how quoting chapter and verse of the brownshirt's own manual qualifies as a threat.

Yes, she was lax in her failure to report to the gate in time. TSA was FAR more lax in allowing her luggage to depart the gate without her on the aircraft, and she had the audacity, indeed the NERVE to point that out to the pointy heads. THAT was her "crime".

Folks who accept and encourage this kind of totalitarianist action by "persons of authority" are far more effective in aiding and abetting the demise of the great American Experiment than Obama, Osama, Bubba or Hillary could ever be.

She was upset, but TSA thought her "safe" enough to sit in the lounge until the NEXT flight she could board was about to load? TSA ALLOWED the flight with the "ALLEGED" threat bag to take off, and THEN had it land for inspection?

There's a LOT more to this than the LSM is telling us.

Oh puhleeze. Everyone, EVERYONE knows you don’t talk about bombs in the airport. Don’t make excuses for that woman’s stupidity by calling the TSA and airline people “brownshirts”. There are rules they have to follow even if they personally feel she’s just being a pain.
There are any number of things that woman could have said or done to try and get herself on or her baggage off that plane, and saying “there could be a bomb” is NOT one of them! Sheesh.

“Lax in her failure to report to the gate on time”? ROFL! Hey, if you have a plane to catch, be there early, especially given she’d already checked her baggage, which means earlier there or from a connector flight. Since when do you need a passenger with luggage that’s already been checked in? Luggage is routed incorrectly and “lost” on a regular basis, so there’s plenty of passengerless luggage flying around.
