Since everyone else was also removed from the plane no suit will go anywhere. There was thereby no "discrimination".
Good stuff...
Thanks.
Sounds like Ch. 5 scooped 11 and 4 for details. Not surprising.
My husband prefers KARE bear news for some reason. Ack!
I never watch the news though, so it's his perogative. LOL
Wow, channel 5 has some good details! I was watching Fox 9. Wcco had even less info.
Are you implying they soiled their bloomin' bloomers?
Tee-hee.

I happened to be passing Ch 5 when it popped up. The guy has a Fed Source at the scene. I was quite surprised when I switched to hear the other channels and they were still grasping at what happened.
Recommend sticking on 5 for this one.
If you've dealt with the TSA, as I have, you know exactly what I'm sayin'
;-)
Thanks for the local reports

I can't wait to see how they spin this in the morning.

"Make Air Travel Safer by Profiling Behavior, Not Race"
Eben Kaplan
The Baltimore Sun
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Planning on flying this Thanksgiving? Expect some company; the Air Transport Association anticipates that 25 million Americans will take to the skies during the holiday, a 3 percent increase from last year.
Complicating matters are new rules requiring carry-on liquids and gels to be placed in 3-ounce containers and sealed inside a quart-sized zip-top baggie. If my last airport experience is typical, confused, water-bottle-bearing passengers will hold up screening lines as they are relieved of contraband.
Americans say they're willing to endure long lines if they make us safer, but how much safer are we? Since the foiled liquid-explosives plot in London, we've all heard how our current passenger screening methods are insufficient. Such reports often call for new gadgets, from "puffers" that detect explosive residue on a person or a bag to backscatter X-rays that trace the contours of a person's body in search of foreign objects. These systems could help improve security, but they don't guarantee it.
Evidence suggests that rather than fixate solely on keeping harmful objects off of planes, our government should invest in efforts to keep harmful people from boarding."
CH 5 has been makin' their chops with the whole breaking news thing. They're getting real good at it. The only reason 9 got the initial jump is that they're on the air with their news an hour earlier than the rest.
If you have time, an update tomorrow on the local spin would be appreciated.
Totally off topic...but the anchor name/stage name (Don Shelby) made me think of Ron Burgundy (Anchorman). Sorry...just a slight attempt at humor...
By tomorrow it may well not even be mentioned... :\
Syrian "musicians"?
Will do. I'm up at 6:15 a.m. to get my son ready for school. After my coffee infusion I should be good to go. LOL
That said, g'night all!
