Criminal Charges
Seems to me that she was suffering from bipolar disorder or schizophrenia with accompanying paranoia. Hardly the sort of thing that should be dealt with by charging her with federal offenses. I cannot say the same for management who let her on the flight if they were previously warned by crew members about her condition. While it is doubtful that she posed a danger to others, in the event of an emergency, her ability to carry out essential duties obviously would have been severely impaired. Another case of an airline putting costs ahead of safety?
