Mom arrested, jailed for disciplining kids on plane

Mom arrested, jailed for disciplining kids on plane

The Patriot Act, designed to help fight terrorism, may be being misused.

The Patriot Act was enacted following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. But it has given airlines some latitude in dealing with what they may consider unruly behavior. A case in point is Tamara Jo Freeman, who in 2007 was flying on Frontier Airlines to Denver when she moderately spanked her unruly children, then responded with some profanities when confronted by a flight attendant.
