We are unaware of any role Ms. Oden's status as a Green may have played. The passenger in question was asked to undergo additional screening (i.e. a hand wand examination) because the manner in which she purchased the ticket triggered a concern under the new Federal screening guidelines post September, 11. She refused to cooperate. It is illegal for an airline to fly an unscreened passenger. Accordingly, the airline denied her boarding. She never got near a plane. She never went through security. No screen, no fly--it is as simple as that. The situation was entirely of her own making. What's sad is that she refuses to admit to and take responsibility for her own inappropriate behavior, looking only for somebody else to blame for her own inability to cooperate with reasonable expectations under the circumstances. 99.9% of people selected are very understanding and cooperative and the process only takes an extra minute.

God Bless America," The Charlotte Observer, November 1, 2001 College of the Holy Cross Department Head Orders Flag Removal At the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., a department head told a secretary to take down an "inappropriate" flag she had hung in her office in honor of a friend who died on one of the hijacked airliners, but after the matter made it into a local newspaper, triggering an angry public reaction, the secretary was allowed to fly another flag on her desk, Washington Post, October 30, 2001 CNN vs. IndyMedia?
