Woman 'forgets' loaded gun in purse, found by TSA screeners, won't be charged because no proof exists that there was 'intent' to bring gun on plane.

Man forgets loaded gun in fanny pack, packed in carry on bag, jury selection for federal trial began yesterday.

The difference between the two people? besides gender? oh yeah, the woman is a district judge.

Glad I live in a country where everyone has equal protection under the laws.

Do you (as an individual citizen) feel that it's quite alright that 'equal protection under the laws' is applied in this way? with special circumstances being applied depending upon your station in society?
