Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution
I took my daughter to Linden Airport (that's in New Jersey). We stood
with a small crowd at the fence on the shopping mall side as planes took off and landed. (This is where I got my interest in flying many years ago.) Presently a mall security truck drove up and the guard told us to disperse because we were breaking the law. When one woman asked what law, he seemed at a loss for a moment, then muttered "national security." He then said he was calling the police. He drove away, glaring at us. The police never came, but the guard came back, more belligerent than before. Now he started shouting at the crowd and reaching for his baton. I told him, "You hit me, and my lawyer will eat you for breakfast." The rest of the crowd stood nearby, watching as he stared hard at me. The "guard" put the baton away and backed up to his truck. He said "I'm calling the police" again and drove away. I wonder how many kids who could have grown up into pilots have been chased away by this slug and others like him. AJ |
