RE: "Taking Chance"

A very good movie.

Coming back from vacation two weeks ago I was on a plane that was carrying a serviceman's body home. It was quite moving to see the respect paid to the fallen at the airport when the plane landed. I was also quite surprise--or perhaps not--at how many people watching through the windows at the gate area had no idea why all those firemen, state police, servicemen and baggage handlers were standing at attention grouped around the cargo area. Later when I mentioned to the van service driver what had happened he said he had wondered why he had seen a hearse heading for the airport with an escort of state police vehicles. He then commented what a waste of money that escort was, and the the state troopers' time could be better spent protecting us elsewhere. Idiot.
