1. You know the world’s on edge when being drunk and stupid on a plane instantly gets you flagged as a suspected terrorist. Such was the plight of British Airways passenger Kamila Dolniak, a Polish citizen who tried to open an exit door mid-flight on a trip from London to Boston yesterday. “Lots of people thought the worst,” one passenger told The Boston Globe, but it turns out Dolniak was just extremely intoxicated, and her attempted high-altitude escape had nothing to do with ISIS or Paris. Nevertheless, she was taken into custody on a charge of interfering with the flight crew.

Critics say the refugees are trying to escape the same terrorism those governors are lashing out against. “What happened in Paris was a tragedy, but we have to be careful not to react out of fear,” said Alison Beyea of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.
