It is indeed banned -- as it quite rightly should be -- inside a public space (SFO) which is partly your space and air. That's why she was going outside. What else would you like to ban? Self-righteousness?

What I meant was banned as in "tobacco should be made illegal and users should be subjected to lengthy prison terms."
Unfortunately, I hadn't (until now) figured out how to use "smilies" and thought that the usual
wasn't necessary given my seemingly pompous (though no less exaulted, mind you) usage...
Simply a subtle ('tho apparently too much so) attempt to poke fun at the so-called security procedures that (and not to excuse the aforementioned woman) push passengers into hissy fits when they face stupid rules that are not only ineffective (see various posts re _real_ terrorists with _real_ IDs), but disruptive as well.
And as for banning self-righteousness, what fun would that be? (I can only assume that you don't mean MY self-righteousness...right?)
