Stupidest Idea of the Year 2001

Goes to............ John Roberts, the federal magistrate in the Alaska court case involving the Angry Identical Twin Hick WannaBe Models that assaulted several United Airlines flight attendants on a recent San Francisco to Shanghai flight.

This federal magistrate, in a stratospheric level of  stupidity, has decided to allow the two attackers to FLY ON AN AIRPLANE back to their hometown of HicksvillemodelLand, Michigan---provided that their parents fly with them.

It had better not be on United Airlines.

Now, I've got nothing against their families posting bail and them returning home to await a trial.  However, they should not be allowed to fly on any U.S. aircraft...period.  Yes, Alaska is very inconvenient to try and get back to Michigan solely by way of  land.  But that's just the point here: Flying is a privilege---not a right.  It's a convenience that costs; both in dollars and in respect for our laws and regulations.  Not to mention the safety of the other passengers.

By allowing those two attackers to get back on board an aircraft, this idiotic judge is setting a terrible example to the traveling public.  While he's at it, he may as well allow Osama bin Laden to head up the airport security.

But the ultimate criminal in this saga will be the airline that actually flies those awful twins to their destination.
