Don't you think that you are a tad dramatic here? And also, the rule breakers made no efforts of camouflaging and being invisible - I don't recognize your sentiment in this event.
Let me try putting it this way, you have a trip where you are flying to Rome to arrive on 12/24, you are told at your connecting gate you are banned from flying for 24 hrs and can continue the next day , by the time you get to Rome the reason for you going will be MOOT. These folks werent on a scenic tour and were trying to arrive to their final destination before sundown of that day, arriving the next day would be no different then you arriving on 12/26 into Rome
