Terrorists are out to get us, but these folks were NOT terrorists, according to the FBI and the Air Marshalls.

On top of that, I am thoroughly disgusted by Jacobsen's fear mongering

It's easy to say that after the fact, after the background checks . . . but when one is in the air . . . with susupicious activity going on from no matter who . . . one's level of uncomfortability SHOULD raise! It's a natural reaction.

Before you know people are clean, and you're in an environment where you do not have much control, it's VERY reasonable for her alarm to go off.

Why are people making her out to be the bad guy? In today's world, one should always maintain a heightened sense of vigilance . . . especially when out of one's own comfort zone.

If you are so naive to ignore any potential warning signs, you open increase your vulnerability and set your self up for whatever harm comes your way.
