Comment: Are you serious? AA did not do anything wrong. I am glad that they check everyone and don't make any exceptions for ex-PM's! If I'm going to be flying on a plane, I want to make sure I'm safe and that means that no one gets special privileges. Stop whining because you were subjected to the EXACT SAME treatment that so many of us have undergone before boarding a place. Oh no, they made you take off your shoes? That's what they're supposed to do! They have to be thorough after events like 9/11. And, by the way, that has happened to me countless times! Trust me when I tell you that 99.99% of the people in NY or the entire United States, for that matter, do not know who you are. You are not above anyone else and you should not receive special treatment regardless of what position you once held. For the person who says he should have been treated better because this occurred during the Independence celebrations, are you serious?? Now we have to make special provisions for certain people depending on what holiday it is? C'mon... |
