[Declan McCullagh]

This Bangor Daily News article tells a different story about the incident 
involving Green Party activist Nancy Oden at a Maine airport last week:

The article, by Jeff Tuttle, says:
>[Oden] was grounded at Bangor International Airport on Thursday after 
>reportedly becoming uncooperative when she was targeted for additional 
>screening... "She was uncooperative during the screening process," said 
>American Eagle spokesman Kurt Iverson, who added that Oden reportedly 
>would not stand still when security staff tried to wave a metal-detecting 
>wand over her. "Obviously if they can't submit to screening, [Federal 
>Aviation Administration] regulations require that they not be allowed to 
>board the plane."

The Green Party has put out a press release, which contains no evidence to 
buttress Oden's claim that she was singled out before even arriving at the 
airport for her political views:
