I assume they want to keep things clean, but this seems more than a little over the top.
Take care all.
You're Under Arrest...For...Eating?

well obviously as soon as you see outragouse law enforcement in an artical that starts with "A government scientist" you know shes being taken out because she knows too much about something
I watch too many movies
Word/s.
"Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can."
I think the situation got a little out of hand. Of course, it's always best to be alert in situations like this (due to the ongoing threat of terrorism), but arresting someone for eating a chocolate bar is out of order.
"In 2000, a police officer handcuffed a 12-year-old girl for eating a french fry on a subway platform."
See what I mean? Pathetic. What has eating a french fry got to do with terrorism?
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
... The same thing eating a candy bar does.

"Don't you have some other crimes you have to take care of?" Willett said she told the officer.
I agreed with her this is a waste of manpower.

Police can handcuff minors?

Thank god I live in england. The police dont bother me because their incompetant.
Word/s.
Police can handcuff a newborn, if they have probable cause, and sometimes even without it.
Unnoted but overheard at crime scene:
Holy god, she will surely hijack that subway with, please don't let it be, it is!!! A payday!!!!!!!!! if we don't stop her the empire state building is doomed!!!! God be with me!!!!!!!!
It's crazy. OMG She eats a candy! So what? It's insane.
Many people can get away with eating in Metro, without the presense of the police. However, I think this "No eating" law is pretty stupid and getting arrested for eating a french fry or whatever is stupid. They should be more lenient on this.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Political cartoon in the making.
So she misposted the candy bar unaware that it was actually a similarly titled bar stored in the same purse right next to her intended, far less offensive sweet?

Has anyone ever seen the movie "Escape From LA"? I have a feeling America is going to turn out eerily similar to America in that movie. *Shudders*

Just sound like the police on a power trip. Nothing more than that. Just that preventing 'terrorism' makes things like this more acceptable in this day and age.
