Its stupid in my opinion. 20 years for obstructing a flight attendant? That's rediculous

So what if it's a stewardess you're doing it with? Does that nullify the criminal act or double the jail time? I think it would be a crime to be doing it with some of the stewardesses I've seen lately anyhow.

Being a staunch supporter of the Patriot Act I hope this couple is aquitted and soon, it's rediculous, so they were messing around, big deal, lock them up for a few days so they know that what they did was wrong, but don't make them go to court, and why is their trial set three months from now? Shouldn't they be entitled to a speedy trial at the very least?
