Or live in Paranoidistan, aka USA.
- jrockway 14y agoThere are 30,000 flights a day in the US with an average of 100 passengers each. This happening to one blogger is not exactly a pattern of paranoia. It was simply two people making a bad customer service decision.
- guruz 14y agoI would agree with you, it could have been that. It's just that for me as an European seemingly all crazy stories like "X tazed by cop for doing nothing at all" or "Y put into jail for having her small children play naked in the garden" come from the US.

It stands to reason that most everything you read about in English on the Internet took place in the US. It's just a really really big country.

Sorry if this comes across as arrogant.
