She doesn't "have to worry about her unborn child," she was spared the Xray, like she asked. By your own account she has been through far worse, yet you agonize over the fate this elitist reporterette shares with ordinary American women in airports all over the country.

Too much time on hands, not enough to do...?

Do you have a different account? This piece clearly states she asked, in fear of her unborn child, not to be put through the xray - but they not only did, they made her go through 3 times - while laughing.

You disdain her as "elitist."

Have you seen her body of work? (I have) Have you seen her battle photos from the middle the Kunar in some of the fiercest fire fights - battles that now are legend in the award winning documentary "Restrepo". (I have.)

Have you had the guts to immerse yourself, voluntarily, in such danger? ( I have not. I wouldn't be able to keep up and would be a liability.)

YOU?

Or maybe you do know all the above - or know her personally and thus are able to sneer with righteousness and the dismiss the incident as reported in the article as not happening. Do let us know how you know better?

Too much time on hands, not enough to do...?

Got a mirror?
