If you love airport security and/or the TSA, please do be sure to thank a muslim.
Nah, probably just a bit “crampy”
JetBlue doesn't have anything bigger than an Airbus 320, which only holds 150 people. The MSM strikes again.
Traditional Latina temper tantrums and the TSA are a bad mix - maybe she should sue them for not respecting her cultural imperatives. ;)
Yes. She was not permitted to leave.
Maybe a pigeon for foreign corporate espionage’???
If she ever has kids, I would call CPS while she's in labor, as a preventive measure.
She doesn't have enough common sense to fill a red ant's arse.
She's a few beers short of a six-pack.
If you bag is on the plane and you are not, and you know that there is not a bomb on the plane, you wave bye-bye to the bag and catch up to it later. There is no hazard in letting the bag go, because you know there is no bomb in the bag.
Trying to get your bag back by discussing the possibilities of bombs in bags with a gate agent is just abusing the TSA rules for your own convenience. You are not preventing a hazard. You are just trying to get them to turn the plane around because you want your bag, and are speculating about things that make TSA types very nervous in order to do it.
She should just get over herself and catch up with the bag later. No big deal.
Even better, she should endeavor to get to the gate on time, and the whole problem could have been avoided.
Ok. She’s and idiot. I’ll say that up front.
BUT!! Prior to the plane taking off she said there was a bomb in her bag. Then, and I quote,
“The flight took off anyway, but was forced to make an emergency landing in Richmond, Va., according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Dennehy.”
What if she wasn’t just being a bitch and was serious. How many would have died. I’ve done a lot of flying and I have to at least agree that the TSA’s job performance is lacking. I wouldn’t mind seeing someone busting some skulls in that orgainization starting at the top.
Obtuse. What she did was illegal, as in illegal immigrant and there is zero doubt that she broke the law.
Your reasonable human still does understand the concept of written law doesn't he?
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.

It’s another name for tantrum. Hissy fits are a southern thing and may be called something else where you live.

Hot with a touch of carelessness bordering on stupidity. A dangerous combination.
She said bomb.
Let’s not forget “pitched a fit.”
I’m inclined to believe that airline travel from this point on is not going to get better. It’s like any other huge system that was developed and later some new functionality was required, in this case security.
Our airports, airplanes, and passenger processing weren’t designed with security in mind and now we are making a hash of it.
I’ve flown 1 time since 9/11 and had to show up at 2AM for a 6AM flight at BWI. I was corralled standing outside the passenger terminal behind locked security gates with about 2000 other people for hours with no place to sit and no services, no coffee, no breakfast, no nothing.
Presumably its gotten better but I have’t been willing to give it a try.

And one must not omit conniption which Bill Cosby once described as something “you don’t want to see - my wife’s head split open and fire came out of her brain and her eyes bulged out of their sockets.””
My point is that they have plenty of opportunity to do such things for real or at least for a more credible threat. This is someones overreaction and though she may have been very outwardly angry this was their way of solving the problem.
You are over reacting. The law, as it applies to crimes of verbiage, relies on how a reasonable human being would have interpretted the words at the time. Words are symbols. It is their intent that gives them power. Yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater is illegal. If a commedian is in the middle of his routine in a theater and as part of his schtick yells “FIRE” he has not broken any laws because a reasonable human being would know that he was not actually trying to cause the stampede which the law was attempted to thwart.
Same here. If what the TSA claims she said was true, any reasonable hearer of her words would clearly understand that there was NO BOMB, but she just wanted on the plane. That is sleazy and I hate when people at the airport have a “Do you know who I am?!” attitude, but if I was on the jury on this one, I’d find her not guilty, becuase of the obvious intent of the words.
If she was claiming a bomb to cause panic or get money or divert a plane, that would be different. As a living, breathing human being who has to deal with TSA on a weekly basis myself, I understand her frustration. She crossed a line, but just barely. She should suffer consequences, but nothing too harsh.
And the TSA IS a joke. A friend caught three of them in the “basement” of Sea-Tac airport rifling through a passengers suitcase looking for valuables. Don’t get me started.
I literally see them as lower than burger flippers.
Literally.
...who earned $190,000-a-year and haD homes in Manhattan and Texas, now Leavenworth,.... There, fixed it.....
Six figure income, executive, sorta bi-coastal...(East/Gulf?), not unattractive if she'd behave...Yeah, that's my take, too. A self-important yuppie on a hissy fit cuz sne didn't get her way.
