Airport drama: 'I'm a mum, not a terrorist'

I wouldn’t say it was scripted or planned (if that’s what you were implying), but like all reality tv: you only air the worst/most entertaining bits.

What is worse is the advert of so-called “popular” TV shows like Airport…. Which the UK, NZ and Australia all have their own version off running on TV.

These types of shows actually encourage people to act like total animals as far as im concerned.
.

Those shows are totally contrived i’m afraid.. what would be interesting about a passenger just getting their pass and boarding a plane..nobody would watch..it’s all a set up for the cameras

Here is yet another moron reported in the same paper….

Some of the staff also appear ill-equiped to handle drunks and obnoxious people.
Its simple, tell them to wait while i call sercurity to escort you out of the terminal.

I posted elsewhere about the stupidity of people at airports…

Here in Townsville in the past 2 yrs 4 people have been caught “airside” tryin to board planes after the gate has shut…

One idiot had actually jump the fence at the adjoining RAAF base and was attempting to walk the 2km directly to the terminal when caught near the end of runway 07.

Under education, stupidity, drugs and the brain dead mentality of me me me is the result of our “modern” society….

Did this woman actually think that if she made it to the end of the airstair (which may or may not even be connected to the aircraft) that bashing on the closed door screaming “let me in, let me in” would work!?

Whose fault was it that she arrived late at the terminal, not reading the signs at the entrance to the airport???

Everytime I have travelled on an aircraft , or waited for someone at the airport there are constantly heard on the PA system peoples names being read out because their plane is boarding!

They check in… and the go for a smoke? or go drink half a keg of beer??
How hard is the concept of showing up early?

A mum or not, that is quite possibly one of the most stupid things you can do at an airport without actually being a terrorist! She was very lucky really to not have the book thrown at her. Maybe she’ll think a little more next time she screws up getting to the airport!
