"It's done to placate those in the demographics that have a record of hijacking planes".
This was the daughter, and wife, of that smurking weasel reporter on the news this was happening to, and he actually stood there, smiling, and making excuses for those people fondling, and touching his daughter all over her body and causing her to go into screaming fits....
If I had been that little girls mother, I would have gone to jail, sure, but I would have asked that person to back off, and if they didn't, then I would have knocked the beejeevers out of them, and slugged my husband for just standing there.
After I got out of jail, I'd go home, have a friend take my child away, pack our bags, stomp the living g-damn holy daylights out of my daugthers father...then left, on a private jet..... JMHO!!!
