Perhaps I can be excused for thinking that the part I have bolded was part of your point, and not an irrelevancy? Especially given that the only clue you gave that she was in public (and not just with her group, which you expressly referenced) was "pissed a lot of people off," which for being "the entire import of [your] story" certainly left a lot open to interpretation?

You could be excused, had I not already posted -- and had you not already read -- this:

You are reading too much (or too literally) into my (admittedly sloppy) statement of "who gives a shit..."
It would have been more accurate to say, "I submit that the imminent danger presented by a child walking away from a flight that just landed and wearing a t-shirt that appears to be of Cuban origin, is significantly lower than that presented by a child walking towards a flight that is about to take off and wearing something that set off a metal detector. And yet, we hear outrage about the latter (male) child taking off his shirt (even though it appears that it was his father's idea, and act) than we ever did about the former (female) child having to remove her shirt."
