Female Passenger, 25, 'groped airline steward after drinking pint of whisky'

[flyblue]

Have we really got to the stage in these politically correct times of applying the full wrath of the law on otherwise law-abiding folk who do something silly - and pretty harmless?

Being groped is harmless only to the imbecile doing it, but surely not for the person who has to suffer it. A law-abiding person is someone who abides by the law. Sexually molesting people is not law-abiding behaviour.

As we all know, people -- normally nice people -- do silly things when travelling

Sure, and CC are there to amuse "normally nice people" and shut up while they do "silly things while travelling", like sexually molesting other individuals.

what would you feel if it was your son/daughter?

That I've dramatically failed as a parent, and that the brat will have to learn to pay the consequences of "being silly when travelling".
BTW, such a parental failure wouldn't surprise me if the parent was "a normally nice person" who is capable of such an immature view of sexual molestation.
