Still waaaaay too much money, no matter who set it. Juries aren't always right.

To my knowledge, female terrorists in circumstances such as this are extremely rare. Wasn't there a Chechen woman who brought down a plane in the CIS a year or so ago? But I think that may be the only one?

In the story above, it also mentioned that she was unable to clear her name from the watch list. Once you are on that list is that it for ever? Or is it actually possible to clear your name if innocent, as she would appear to be? If it is not possible to get her name off the list, then I would say that in itself is grounds for fairly substantial compensation.

Reminds me of the movie Anger Management

I've got a trip next month on AA. 2 business class transatlantic, 4 internal flights, 3 of those American Eagle, one AA First class. We'll see how that turns out, but past experience tells me not to hope for too much.
And if they get a grounding in customer service........Last year, radeng is flying America West from San Diego to Phoenix to get BA289 to LHR - a published connection in those days. America West 'plane delayed, request for everyone to go to the desk for re-routing. I get there, woman asks'What's you final destination tonight, sir?'
Radeng: 'London Heathrow'
AW employee :'Oh sh*t!'
Just out loud, just like that.........
We all think it, BUT..........
