how ironic that this guy has the name "free the hostages?" It seems that the passengers aboard that flight were held hostage by the Luftwaffe police for 25 minutes.

You write: how ironic that this guy has the name "free the hostages?"

I'm a girl, not a guy, and "FreetheHostages" concerned the Chinese holding our civilians after downing their spy plane. But I've also been a prosecutor, and I well know that the brief detention of persons for the safety of others is consistent with, and not antithetical to, our civic freedom. I'm a conservative, but not one of those who things the abolition of all police power is the road to freedom. That's the road to anarchy. Freedom can't exist without law and order.

One of you has objected that you have prostate problems. I'm sorry and I do sympathize. I've been on many flights with the 30-minute rule: passengers are always given a warning before the 30 minutes start. So I would hope that would handle that problem. But if people have a problem where they need to use the bathroom more than every 30 minutes, as things stand now, I recommend the train.
