“… And Domestic.”
If the facts of the case are as reported here, sounds like some Federal employees and officers have forgotten a few things. Like, oh, their allegiance to the Constitution?
(See: the Bill Of Rights, you wretches.)
zombyboy may be right; for all I know, Ms. Davis may well not be “a person I would like”. It hardly matters in such a case; there is no reason that bus riders, merely passing through a piece of federal property, should be subject to random ID checks — much less charged with crimes, much less told she will be arrested if she ever goes to such-and-such a place again.
What good will it do us to win victory over Islamicists and other foreign threats to our liberty, if petty government functionaries take it away from us at home?
I hope the bullies who acted in this matter find new careers.
Food services, I’m thinking — “…fries with that?”
I will watch this case with some interest.

Food Service as in “the most lowly of jobs”? It’s honorable work, Doc. In my opinion, having and keeping a job is honorable in itself, unless the job is unethical. Taking money for work, then spending time playing online is more shameful than any food service job.
-
Food service, as in… well, food service, ma’am.
Placing quotes around “the most lowly of jobs” is disingenuous, at best, insofar as that phrase appears nowhere in my writing.
But to clarify: Food service, as in… some place where the scoundrels’ inability to pay more than shoddy lip service to the Bill of Rights isn’t an impediment to gainful employment.

Of course, you rightly ignored the other half of Nancy’s “point”, which is that you are dishonorable because you dared to post at 2:45 in the afternoon.

What would you think if, in fact, giving much more than lip service to the Bill of Rights actually WAS an impediment to “gainful employment”?
-
I would have a hard time thinking, ma’am; I would be incandescently furious.
My father did not come here from Hungary in order to be treated like a slave of a State; he could well have accepted repatriation to Budapest for that. Nor did he look to raise a family in order to give that State slaves.
Come to think of it, I didn’t swear allegiance to the Constitution, in my time, in order to put up with any such wretchedness.

Fueled by the level of emotion of which you write, is it possible to take ACTION against a wrong without being greatly affected emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and financially somewhere down the line? Isn’t it safer/easier just to comply and/or complain? Taking the story at face value, do you think the officers were forced or even obligated to perform an arrest? What was the point of no return? Do you know of a way to right an obvious wrong, go against a majority, without being somewhat reprehensible?
