US District Attorney Christopher J. Christie is quoted as saying:"We

and unacceptable." I agree with Mr. Christie.


yeah. sending out a message. like the one who was sentences to 55 years in
prison for dealing Marijuhana. yeah. sure.


I disagree with your comparison Martin. It's not the same thing.
While I agree that the sentence of 55 year in prison for dealing
Marijuana is wildly excessive for so relatively harmless a drug, it's
very hard to compare that to this case. The marijuana guy was selling
to people who wanted it. No one got inadvertantly high on it while
landing an airplane.

Sure Banach was a really dumb idiot for doing what he did. Does that
excuse him from punishment?
