wrote: My question is: isn't this kidnapping? Nope. Not even close. And it's not even unlawful imprisonment, which fits the reported facts better. It seems it surely could be called that. Only by those who don't understand what was happening. What it was effectively was detention on behalf of the immigration authorities. Another thing--I recently flew (I rarely do) and I was fortunate to be seated next to the emergency exit. Couldn't someone have just opened that and taken off? One thing is for sure--that is absolutely what I would have done. Gosh. And then you'd be off to federal court for being naughty. Really. Plus you'd get a honking great bill from the airline. It's ridiculous to think anyone is supposed to just sit there & wait 18 HOURS while they straighten out their own nonsense. That's *exactly* what people are supposed to do... Comments? Unhappy? Sue. It's the American way. LRH Malc. |
