While I agree, America's laws dictate that the party involved has a right to a fair trial by peers, have legal representation, and be allowed the rights of any other person charged criminally. I'm going to leave this thread alone after this post, as I don't think any of us know enough of this specific case to determine if this guy was held under the USA-PATRIOT Act, FAA regulatory violoations, or otherwise. IMHO, this guy is guilty of being criminally stupid, but I don't think charges of terrorism would be warranted, except to "make an example" of him, which is not what our court system should be used for. Now on to bigger and better things. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
