Look, the guy is a tool, but he did not cause the air traffic shutdowns and the millions in losses. Over-reactive idiots did. We keep telling ourselves that we are not going to let the terrorists win, but then we over-react to everything and make our lives miserable. So the guy is in the airport. Big deal. Check everybody who gets on the planes, but jesus christ, let them get on the planes and let the planes go.

Not too keen on things like Federal Aviation Regulations are we? Try CFR 14 Part 107 to get educated.

I think submitting to security checks at airports is common sense, but here it is:
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Volume 2, Part 107 -- Airport Security
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/14cfr107_01.html
170.20:
No person may enter a sterile area without submitting to the screening of his or her person and property in accordance with the procedures being applied to control access to that area under Sec. 108.9 or Sec. 129.25 of this chapter.

Obviously, evading airport security is quite different from blocking the freeway for running out of gas (but you can get a ticket for that, too). Running past security guards is clearly wrong, without having to know the exact law that would be broken.

No thanks. If I beleive that federal regulations were the supreme authority on right and wrong I would be a liberal.
