Security is supposed to be alerted by folks just standing/sitting around in one spot. Seems to me, anyway. They always tell us to report suspicious items and persons, dilly-dallying in one spot, alone. Well, hopefully security will be on the alert from now on. This is a security problem, not to mention the daughters not having a caregiver along on the flight. Maybe Mom should carry a small alarm. And a phone to call her daughters and/or airlines.
'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
