No doubt, a decision which might come back to haunt her.
I can't form an accurate opinion based on this conflicting information.
Now that we have got that out of the way. They should be fired (for stupidity) and we need to abolish the TSA.
I think a pair of fists on an airplane are far more useful than 1000 boomerangs.
And feet... you can use your legs and feet to inflict serious damage -- a terrorist threat.
I guess, soon enough, we'll all have to be hogtied during the duration of our flights, lest a fist or foot be able to hijack an airplane.
Decisions, decisions....
Rhymes with "Meow Mix"...
LOL. Once the charges are filed, they can't be thrown out of court.
