Indefinite Detention: Senator Sees No Need To Change Law That Was Ruled Unconstitutional
In 1973 I came home on leave. On the airplane an individual who said he was from Lebanon started up a conversation. He asked about a lot of different places in Los Angeles. For some reason I became suspicious even alarmed. When we arrived at the airport and I was waiting at the baggage area, I noticed a brief case that looked similar to the one the individual was carrying, sitting all alone in the middle of the floor. At the same time my sister and brother were approaching the entrance, I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Get out! Don't come in here.!" I reported my concerns to a uniformed officer and got my siblings out of there as soon as possible.
My siblings and most of the people in the airport probably thought I was crazy. What they did not know was one of my jobs in the Navy was to distribute Top Secret information. I knew of concerns of terrorist attacks on airports.
Of course nothing happened. No bomb went off. But what if it had and I had done nothing?
There are people who want to kill U.S. citizens. They are planning and plotting as I type.
I know I looked crazy and maybe I alarmed a lot of people that day, but I had information they did not. But I would do it again and again to protect my siblings and the people in the airport, even if it upsets them.
