They threatened me with security as well when I said I was going to talk to the VIPs

When I wasn't getting anywhere in EWR and the plane was about to leave without me after I got off to deal with a supervisor, they threatened to call security because I said I was going over to talk to some people in suits across the hall who were inaugurating a new flight. They clearly were Continental excutives.

And that the passenger about to be carried away, the one with the legitimate boarding pass, is guilty of some wrongdoing.

Just asking.
