Subj: RE: [IP] Fascinating Airline Security Story



I thought this story was fascinating, too, when one of my sources alerted 
me to it.  The story started to fall apart pretty quickly when I dug into 
it.  

The woman at the core of this story fancies herself as a "creative writer" 
(just Google her) and indeed, it seems she got a bit creative in her 
narrative.  

Like Bruce, I believe that this kind of "boots on the ground" vigilance is 
what is needed on a larger basis.  The trouble, as I found with this story, 
are over-zealous, over imaginative or out right paranoid people that are 
unable, unwilling (or both) to step back and ask themselves some logical 
questions before pressing the panic button.
