To arrest, or not to arrest: THAT is the question.

This happened in Hong Kong. If this happened in my state (Wyoming) this woman’s behavior meets the definition of disorderly conduct. She’s screaming and flailing her arms about in a public place. On the other hand, I grew-up not far from New York City. You see a lot of people act like this there. Indeed, if it weren’t for the Port Authority Police, this woman could probably do this at JFK, and only half the people would pay attention.
As to MY call on this woman? If say, I was the airport manager? US airports aren’t Greyhound Bus terminals—not yet anyway—and, if nothing was done, the merchants might start screaming (understandably,) so, yes, I’d bust her.
As it turns-out, she was NOT arrested. AND, the airline, Cathay Pacific, allowed her to board a flight to her original destination—San Francisco! (well, where else!) As Keith Olbermann said of this woman: “God help everyone on that flight if her first choice of a meal was gone!” In any case I think I found an airline that must have a very low rate of calls to the cops!
