You might want to walk that last comment back. While she is a six-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer, she is now a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. Turns out she was crippled in an ATV accident. So please let us know if being confined to a wheelchair is “modest” enough. Maybe she should wear a burqa, the ultimate in religious modesty?
To repeat; the agents had NO guarantee that she was not
being used as a mule to smuggle in explosives or weapons
to the airport. They did not know her personally; nor did
most of us before reading this story. (No matter how
IMPORTANT one fancies themselves; still not all that many
people know who they are beyond their 15 minutes of fame.)
