Better safe than sorry: I'd rather this woman embarrass herself because she didn't understand differential symbols than a hijacking taking place.

So, what you're saying is that anytime anyone is worried over anything, no matter how silly, they need to make a big thing out of it?

Plane hijackings and loss of life are a pretty big deal.

What? Do you suggest that we just keep anyone who speaks a different language, or who's skin is too dark from flying?

Not at all.

It isn't about that woman embarrassing herself, it's about interogating people who are just going about their business because some people are morons.

Better to just ignore safety concerns from passengers and not investigate the matter further I guess.
