I've said it before. and I'll say it again. What would the concequences have been if any other journo's involved in this little escapade had been injured or killed if the situation had evolved into something that got beyond anybody's control (take the recent example of that Brit tool from the Sun that took a knife on a flight)? And I'm not just talking injury from the involvement of law enforcement.
I'm putting 10 bucks down now the media would worship them a martyrs.
