When they don't, you see manic irrational behavior including depression, random violence and unfortunately, suicide. Sad because it's preventable, but the ACLU won't allow people to be forcefed meds so they have to self-medicate.

The lesson here is very clear: Take your meds -> ok to travel. Don't take your meds -> better plan your funeral. People need to learn fast that planes and airports are 2 places that you can't ++++ around anymore. If you don't or can't follow the rules, stay home.

I don't even understand why we need 13 pages of debate over whether it was a good shoot. The true facts will eventually be known, just as they were for 9/11, Ruby Ridge, the Southwest incident (passenger subdued) and all the others (except for the conspiracy theorists). Then people can make their own judgments. And my guess is that everyone will stay on the side where they already are. The players don't change teams on FT.
