I wouldn’t want to go through what Jerry Wynn went through, but…when the FBI has been told you have or may have a grenade, how, exactly, are they supposed to react? And at what point should they let their guard down?

“find the stewardess who identified you as an accomplice and sue the crap out of her”

Yes, intimidating airline personnel into keeping their mouth shut when they see something suspicious is a great idea.

There certainly are problems with airline security, but I’m with robb on this one – the vast majority of the complaints I hear boil down to “how could they suspect me?”.
