To: MRMEAN Sorry, everything else I've read says that she made the stupid statement. And cops generally won't say whether someone did or did not make a statement. Now if she did in fact make the statement, then her luggage being blown to bits is a minor aside to how things could have gone down. 106 posted on 02/19/2005 1:18:24 PM PST by Darksheare

Darkshear, even the WND article, which is crib from the KGTV story posted earlier, does not allege that she actually said or even implied that she had a bomb. And I excerpted what the Phoenix police in fact said, and provided the link the San Diego Tribune. The Phoenix police found she had done nothing wrong; the TSA agent who had her detained is either incompetent or vindictive, or both. No doubt Dr. Esha Khoshnu would have been smarter to have been a good little sheeple, but she didn't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater or anything like that; and I would hope that an agency entrusted with our airline security would have reacted to a disgruntled passenger with better judgment and just common sense. The reality is that we have, by creating the TSA, created an army of petty dictators who justify their existence by harassing non-threat passengers.
