I don't fault the flight crew for the call for more screening -- or the TSA/LEOs for conducting the screening in this instance. What I do fault, is the airline causing the remaining passengers a delay as a result. The questionable passengers should have been removed for further screening and the flight should have continued to the destination on schedule with the remaining passengers aboard.
Once again, all passengers had to suffer because of the actions of a few...
If that was the case, do you not believe that there would be massive delays every time students flew for Spring Break? Perhaps a school field trip would present a problem, or if an ROTC band corps was traveling to an event? Except, I have never heard of any additional screening and flight delays for security reasons with these examples of students, so try not to be so quick to blame the students.
IN addition, I have no idea why you place the students in quotation marks, are you suggesting they were not students, but something else?
