I get where you're going, but this isn't anything at all like probing someone's purse to see if they are carrying too much money onto a plane. I'm not interested in swatting their hands for this at all.
I missed that in the original story. My gremlin says it makes a difference. However, there is still this:
“She told us basically to help her and to take her away from the people that she was traveling with,” Danielle said.
I can be a BDO if people will tell me they are in trouble and point out the perpetrator.
