The day I left my son in the car

Considering the possibility isn't the same thing as leaping to the conclusion. It's not like the woman was pursued, arrested, and thrown in jail before she ever got near the airport. Rather, the police did the sensible thing and followed the matter up by checking with the owner of the vehicle that was seen in the parking lot.

Are you saying that if there's only a 2% chance of something odd being a criminal incident, they should just blow it off?

I'm sure you'll be equally philosophical if you're ever in the position of needing to report a crime and they tell you not to worry about it.

I think you have it backwards. I would like to be able to call the police to report an ACTUAL crime...but unfortunately, they would be too busy investigating reports by paranoid folks who think they've seen a possible crime.
