“this story is really depressing. That they would prosecute this woman so aggressively is a travesty.”
Not really surprising given that they do the same for travelers unfortunate enough to have to change planes in NY and recheck baggage like the recent Tea Party leader that got snagged a few weeks ago in direct violation of Federal Law no less. Avoid NY, it’s worse than CA when it comes to irrational fears of guns, and that’s saying something.
Stay the hell out of NYC.
PERIOD
