When I was waiting for my flight to Las Vegas on Frontier Airlines there were eight police officers waiting at the gate. I sat on the other side of the terminal where the seats were empty and the outlets were plentiful. I was surrounded by airport employees with wheelchairs waiting to help passengers with mobility issues. “They sure are rolling in force tonight,” one said.
When the flight landed they escorted a passenger with a young child to a interview room. The child apparently was inconsolable on the flight and other passengers suspected she was being trafficked. They told the flight attendants who told the pilots who radioed ahead to the authorities. It was the appropriate reaction by concerned citizens.
The man and girl were taken into a room by the police and interviewed for five minutes and released. He was her father. There was no trafficking occurring. She had a lousy flight. He didn’t pack enough things to keep her occupied or he didn’t want to pay $50 to bring another carry-on bag.
My guess is that girl was just miserable flying Frontier. Never fly Frontier. Life is too short to fly Frontier Airlines.
