Do the math!

Do the math!

He took it well. I think I'd be a little more frustrated. You already go through 2 (at least) levels of security checks just to board a plane and then the whole thing grinds to a halt because someone wasn't paying attention in math class.

Menzio for his part says he was “treated respectfully throughout,” though he remains baffled and frustrated by a “broken system that does not collect information efficiently.” He is troubled by the ignorance of his fellow passenger, as well as “A security protocol that is too rigid–in the sense that once the whistle is blown everything stops without checks–and relies on the input of people who may be completely clueless. ”

So do paranoid people. The woman lied about feeling ill to get off the plane. A passenger was removed for questioning for a dubious reason. Every other passenger on the flight had to sit there on the runway for an extra 2 hours while all this went on. All because she can't tell the difference between a math equation and an evil terrorist plot.
