Passengers Aboard Flight Delayed 18 Hours
vite Francia wrote: "Casey" wrote in message link.net... I wonder if the emergency slides will have been disengaged, if so the jump from a DC10 door to the ground would most likely lead to broken bones. In any case don't forget this happened in the US. With the state of nervousness there, the likely presence of armed air marshalls on the aircraft, and almost certainly the presence of armed police on the ground, opening a door and jumping out could well be the last action you took. --==++AJC++==-- And that would be KIDNAPPING. To not allow me to leave unless I'm under questioning for having committed a crime, or I'm under oath in court giving crucial testimony, or I'm at work performing a delicate life- dependent type of occupation, those things excepted--to not allow me to leave is flat-out KIDNAPPING, I don't care what the law says. How can we get this changed? You are hopelessly naive. Try reading the actual text of the Patriot Act. Your government now has the right to declare anyone - including USA citizens - as an enemy, and therefore to send them to Cuba or any- where else it deems necessary. Hot damn! If Governor Arnold doesn't like me he'll send me to Gitmo! AJC is right. Before the Patriot Act was passed, you would simply have been arrested and charged with some minor federal offense. Now you just might be incommunicado for years. It's interesting that those who are consumed by hatred of America completely ignore similar actions by other countries. In fact, many America-haters appear to have been driven insane with rage. For instance, there's a certain resident of Quebec who prefers to spend his waking hours obsessing about the US on Usenet rather than securing a job. Oh, Canada! "OTTAWA - Security certificates used to detain suspected terrorists indefinitely for months without charge are constitutional, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled Friday." http://makeashorterlink.com/?J1553112A Hello, guv! "Britain's highest court on Thursday harshly condemned one of the most hotly disputed elements of the country's anti-terrorist strategy _ a law allowing some foreign suspects to be locked up indefinitely with no charge." http://makeashorterlink.com/?U1652212A Merde! "...in France, where four prisoners from the (Guantanamo) naval base were arrested as soon as they arrived home in July, and haven't been heard from since. Under French law, they could remain locked up for as long as three years while authorities decide whether to put them on trial -- a legal limbo that their attorneys charge is not much different than what they faced at Guantanamo." http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer Now that you know about this, I'm sure you'll start spamming various newsgroups about the abuses of the French legal system with equal fervor. Get busy! Thanks for the info! -- Best Greg |
