I know they must cling to the rightness of what they've done so they aren't overwhelmed with grief and guilt... but OH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31220410.post-47262593098824773462007-05-09T11:59:00.000-04:002007-05-09T11:59:00.000-04:00Y'know, I certainly hope they don't apply this rea...Y'know, I certainly hope they don't apply this reasoning to other contexts where general legal safeguards are in place to prevent harm:<BR/><BR/>"We acknowledge that there's a need for security screenings in airports, but we think these policies are too broadly applied.

By not acknowledging that they broke the law, they do nothing for their "cause".
