[Cdt-l] OT: Hiker meltdown at airport

[Jim and_or Ginny Owen]

Ginny and I hiked and camped with John for much of Colorado in 2006.  If you think this was a meltdown rather than a well-considered action, then you just don't know enough about John to comment. Given what the TSA has become I'm surprised more of this kind of thing hasn't happened.  And I hope it does.  The harassment needs to be reined in.  I got harassed every time I would fly.  I don't fly anymore.  PITA Jim
