From AVFlash - More gross over-reaction IMO:
OUR WEEKLY SECURITY BREACH UPDATE: It seems that the $10 per flight the
airlines are collecting for all that airport security has not yet taken
full effect. At Denver International Airport about a week ago, a
security screener was fired after a wheelchair passenger was let through
without the proper screening, resulting in the evacuation of a concourse
and the rescreening of about 2,500 passengers. In Chicago, a passenger
in search of a smoking area dashed up a down escalator and caused the
evacuation of a terminal. Finally, a United Air Lines flight bound for
Washington, D.C., with 54 souls on board returned to New York shortly
after takeoff Thursday when a threatening note was found on a window
shade. Authorities described that one as probably a "prank." Are we
having fun yet?
