Not only do I believe you are an idiot, but in addition you forgot that it is not the airplane owner that does this, but the federal government, TSA being a wholly owned agency of the feral gubmint, unless you forgot.
And I am not defending or regretting that this meth-head got caught. I am only decrying that my freedom to go about unmolested is compromised because under these circumstances the person who got trapped turned out to be guilty and turned out to be a stupid (redundant) meth-head.
That doesn't mean that I am wrong to worry about my rights.
“...”Such a rule would afford terrorists multiple opportunities to attempt to penetrate airport security by ‘electing not to fly’...”
Electing not to fly.
If nuts get control of the plane, the goobermint will shoot it down, possibly onto the roof of some non flyer’s house.
It’s very wrong to worry about your rights, according to some here.
We can’t allow the passengers to defend themselves, but we can shoot down the plane once it’s been hijacked. Now you must feel safer.
If you were accused of shoplifting? A government agency will be contacted and conduct any search of your person looking for contraband (stolen goods).
The difference is that you might be able to sue the grocery store if you are detained and no contraband is found.

Too funny, pal.
The best,
