All true - however there is no way for the cops/security to have known this and given the state of security today in Airports etc. erring on the side of caution and tasing a few people screaming at the top of their lungs they don't have a bomb - I'm perfectly fine with the actions they took, not the result of course. You guys are so quick to defend when all the info isn't in yet. Either the woman committed suicide, or the cops were a lot more heavy handed than they are saying, or she had a medical condition that has not been reported yet. People don't just die while sitting in a waiting room.......not at 45. Its also odd they left her alone. In hindsight you wish things could have gone differently - I wonder why someone like this was traveling alone in the first place. She was an alcoholic, not a mental patient. Do you fly much? Even in the best of states, airline conditions are such that its easy to see someone losing it....esp. if they are going into rehab. I've known a couple people going in for this type of treatment and family/police always escorted them out of fear they may not make it there or simply comfort. Don't most people use flying as a handy reason to drink. I don't know...she had kids....maybe the husband was watching the kids while she went into rehab. Not everyone goes to rehab accompanied.
