Its hard to read this because it is so frustrating – any traveler can relate to the inane TSA and airport employee mindsets. As you read this story, your fists will clench, your jaw tighten and you will mutter expletives under your breath. The poor guy!
San Diego Airport, TSA and missing a flight

By IAG | March 15th, 2007 | Posted in aviation, security, tsa, US Airways | No CommentsRemember those obnoxious people that were thrown off the plane because of their obnoxious behavior? Well they did not go away quietly. Oh no, take a look here. Now we poke fun at politics, but this one is a bit sinister.
An attempt to sue the passengers who were witnesses? This is something you need to pay attention to. This means, if the suit is successful in identifying witnesses, that you want to be very careful when you next encounter a member of the Islamic persuasion on an airplane. If this person behaves badly, or you feel threatened by their behavior, you have to be very (very, very) careful what you do next. Attorneys being creative types, will take any success in this case as precedent for anyone who complains about a fellow traveler. Even the smelly ones might get "protection". What is the world coming to?
Note of advice to anyone thinking this over. Can a person send an SMS to the authorities and remain anonymous? Can federal agencies like TSA set up a number people can send an SMS message to when an "threat" occurs? This way the sender is protected while the "threat" is investigated. We are certain that airlines and airports, as well as passengers would appreciate this channel.
