While the NG man clearly overreacted (what do you expect with 2 days training)the journalist got exactly what he wanted... a story to sell.He had described himself as whiteknuckled with fear of an attack before he created his ordeal.
Yet he had no problem disputing rights etc. with the very people designed to protect him from such an attack.He is also no doubt aware that it is a felony with a 90 sentence to interfere with or make a false declaration (even a joke) to airport security.
I think our friends across the water (and some on this side also) need to understand that a terrorist's main weapon is not guns,semtex or hijackers.......it is the Media!
