I have to agree about the partying flight crews. They could be considered extremely dangerous.
I would hope that the posts in the thread were not directed as insults toward you.

The posts responding to your inquiry are a manifestation of a good number of people's growing frustration with all the imagined "suspicious activity" that happens at airports and on airplanes, and with the growing practice of "authorities" -- be it TSA, immigration/customs or airline employees -- and nervous nelly passengers acting like little Napoleons by whimsically claiming suspicious activity that so routinely turns out to be anything but suspicious except in the minds of the ignorant, the bigoted.
