Clueless flight attendants attend a training session in "human trafficking" and they can't help themselves - they've been educated about something they will likely never encounter, but they have to put their training to use.

Just another example of "big catch syndrome" not unlike the passengers and flight attendants who were sure they had spotted the next terrorists. Remember Annie Jacobson?

Compounding the foolishness of the FAs were the pilots who passed along their nonsense claim to the authorities.

Think about it logically. Father and daughter went thru airport security in Mexico. The ticket agents and gate agents in Mexico did not intervene (as there was no basis to intervene, as they examined the passports and notarized statement from the mother).

Yet UA flight employees think they've made the next "big catch" in human trafficking and cause this family emotional trauma. And then UA offers mom a $100 voucher. Imbeciles.

No doubt their defense will be "better safe than sorry."
