Good questions.
Since we've got at least two lawyers here, lemme play devil's advocate for a moment and ask this: why -- and on what grounds --
wouldn't these lawyers be allowed in the secure area to serve papers? They're officers of the court, doing the court's bidding ... right? As long as the men were subject to the same security protocols at the c/p that everyone else was, what was problematic about their presence in the sterile zone?
(p.s. I think the current security rules are largely ridiculous, but I think that it makes a mockery of the security facade to allow people into the secure area to pull a guy off a plane to serve him legal documents.)
Isn't it the point of mockery to show-up phoniness and facades? I'm not following the line of reasoning given.
