I agree with everything you have just stated. I am not saying I would support somone who decks a screener after being groped or abused at the checkpoint or witnesses it being done to one of their loved ones, but I am not ready to condemn them either.

I would wait, and depending on the circumstances surrounding the "incident" may very well condemn them, however I could support their actions if the circumstances show they were justified, IMO.
