Why did the American Eagle (desecration of the name and significance of that bird by American airlines) allow the obviously unfit guy on the flight in the first place? I understand it’s a lot less threatening for airport security types to go after the Mrs. Gotbaums of the world than to detain an obviously off and possibly dangerous man … and this is wrong, wrong, wrong.
The ACLU’s response? Easy. They probably took the case of the slipper guy w/the grenade .. he’s alright in their book.
