I suppose in general terms that would be correct but this thread is about a specific incident.
So I'll go thru this very slowly for you Mr Bauer.
There was no target in this incident.
There was no bomb.
There was a clerk behind the information counter in Logan's Terminal C Arrivals by the baggage carousel named Maria Moncoya (No doubt a highly trained LEO professional)who saw flashing leds in the shape of a star on this woman's (Star!!!)sweat shirt and sent up the balloon.
State Police discover no bomb but to save face decide to press charges.
We- the US and its constitutional form of government - are in deep and serious trouble.
