As reported in many places


Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we’d all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.

But then armed officers stormed my plane, threw me in handcuffs and locked me up.

That suitcase could easily have been a diplomatic bag. Although it could have been a lot of other things, too. Back in 2001 I bet banks sent messengers with Very Important Documents, that today are all electronic.

This was actually way back in the 1980s.
