rushmc 23 #51 November 17, 2006 QuoteQuote ... If the threatening passenger was prosecuted under some other law that wasn't called "The Patriot Act", would you still object? As a matter of fact, they ARE NOT being prosecuted under the so called "Patriot Act". They are being prosecuted under Title 49, USC 46504, which is something else entirely: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode49/usc_sec_49_00046504----000-.html It clearly says so in the last page of the affidavit: http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/crim/uspersing91806cmp8.html The whole Patriot Act link is just more media BS and sensationalism, and once more shows that you cannot trust anything they say (well almost anything, they did not make the whole thing up ) Cheers, Vale Imagine that.............."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

DaVinci 0 #53 November 17, 2006 QuoteIts interesting from the standpoint of ....creep... its intedned for one thing.. and has been used for a varied group of arrests by the right wing goons out there. Except in this case he fit EXACTLY what the PA was about. He was making a threat on a plane. These kinds of things should be taken seriously. Edit...Seems he IS NOT being charged under the PA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaVinci 0 #54 November 17, 2006 QuoteSounds to me like the airline attendant was the bully. The attendant didn't make threats. And it *IS* the job of the attendant to do exactly what she did. QuoteIs there a law against making out in public? As long as they didn't disrobe, they were probably not breaking the law. Making a threat against someone *IS* breaking the law, and THAT is why they were arrested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaVinci 0 #55 November 17, 2006 QuoteLet’s stipulate that the seats of a commercial airliner filled with other passengers is an inappropriate venue for sexual exploration. Can we nonetheless agree that this is not what the PATRIOT Act was aimed at? And this is where you miss, or just flat ignore that they were arrested for the THREATS not the kissing. Kissing is not against the PA, but making a threat on a crew member *IS*. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
