What worries me is that those with a mental illness will stop presenting themselves for care because they will be concerned that it will be used against them. This is what happened here, after all!

And this illness if untreated might lead to people doing weird things on plains, which they are trying to prevent! So they are creating potential terrorists... keep up the good work ?

to make sure I am hearing you right, you think this agent was doing the right rhing and realistically had good reason think this woman was a risk and should be denied entry?
