The fact that she felt it necessary to point out that she had to be rescreened seems to indicate that she was trying to add one more thing to show how ridiculous the situation was. But it wasn't ridiculous to rescreen her so now I am more skeptical about the rest of her story.
Don't get me wrong, the whole thing shouldn't have happened but it did and now we have to decide who did what and to whom.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that the rule was because if it was out of the sight of a screener that there was no way to know if something was slipped or not. But if it's in the presence, is it really such a big deal? And why not just rescreen the kid if it's really that big of a deal rather than all involved.
