What caused the mass panic at Newark airport?

• rolph 7y ago
  "Alaska Airlines did not answer any questions about the employee who caused the commotion, saying it does not comment on personnel. CBS 2 reported that a source told them the woman has bipolar disorder and had missed her medication." an allegedly mentally ill airline employee, harassed and assaulted pax, and raised a false alarm and i would project, made a false security report. This should be quite enough, its time that airline security was returned to a realistic stance, and such individuals were removed from service. Its a damn good thing this didnt happen in flight, and involve operation of the aircraft. there was already a single case of a small air craft pilot having a passenger suddenly take over the yoke and violently resist attempts to stop him holding the plane in a nose dive. This incident in submission is not a rare one, but everyone took her seriously, due to recency of other lethal incidents
