You know.... you are the one trying to argue relativism.

I am arguing that he probably gave the version of the story most favorable to his cause, glossing over the real role he played in getting himself arrested. He is the complete victim, and it was unavoidable. BS. In any argument, there are two opposing sides, and the truth is often something else.

You think any behavior whatsoever is justifiable because his dear pregnant wife was crying. I am saying he served her interests horribly by making the situation worse for both of them.

As for the rest of your smoke and mirrors. I am indeed ignoring it.

Maybe, but hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to quarterback things like this in the past tense.

Regardless, as the story is written it does lok like he is the "victim" I feel sorry for both of them and I don't have allot of sympathy for the airport screeners.

But of course, from people who govern with logic like: "well, the facts as presented are obviously wrong. everyone knows the truth lies somewhere in the middle of everything" I would expect such idiocy.

Like I said, I hope you or someone you love is next missy.

It would serve you right.

Re your # 169

For those who fly frequently and are fair minded, it is evident that airport security is poor in terms of who and how people are searched as well as the competence of the people searching. A major portion of the exersise is show...and a poor one at that.

Nonetheless, this person went ballistic and it appears he did not just suffer in silence like the rest of us, hoping that at some point in the future the government may employ (1) get rid of the absurdity of mr. Mineta and get a leader who is truly devoted to saving lives, and (2) aquire a similar program (modified to some degree) to the system used by Israel which works extremely well as they are surrounded by these wanton killers every minute.
