in your analogy, did they tell everyone in the building "oh, hey, there's a credible threat that this building is going to explode, you can stay if you want but the President is gone." or did they continue to pretend the President was there and no credible threat letting all those people stay?
Because your boy didn't say "hey, let's make sure everyone else is safe." No. He hid in a food truck and let them take off as bait.
You think the Secret Service told him to use the whole rest of the plane as bait?
Because another way to do this would be to sneak him off the plane, get him on another one. Tell everyone there's a mechanical difficulty, and repairs are being made. Then once he's a safe distance away, announce everyone has to deplane because they're not going anywhere.
OR
He could have just stayed in Hungry a little while longer. Verified that there was a threat.
There's a whole bunch of options available rather than use a plane full of civilians as bait.
There were exceptions but not after the time had been exceeded. Y'all like to pretend that horrible things don't happen, but they do. And you have to make space for hard decisions like does the mother live or die.
