DON'T CREDIT the BDOs for this one!

Read the article:

http://overheadbin.nbcnews.com/_news...i-airport?lite

It says:

“She told us basically to help her and to take her away from the people that she was traveling with,” Danielle said.
The BDOs didn't detect this. The alleged victim TOLD the TSA that something was amiss, according to the TSA.

And one more thing:

The two men were released.
That's right! The alleged kidnappers were bonded and released. So a judge didn't think they were all that dangerous.

This wasn't a random kidnapping. The alleged kidnappers were members of a group of people she had gone on vacation with:

Detectives said the woman came to South Florida with a group on vacation -- but it turned to a nightmare when one woman accused the victim having an intimate relationship with her boyfriend. She was then beaten and kidnapped, North Miami Police said.
So this may turn out to be a he-said she-said case involving an adulteress or infidelity. Certainly nobody deserves a beating, but who the hell knows what happened here. The judge let them out on bail. I have a feeling when we hear the facts from parties other than the TSA, the story may be different.
