Some people in some situations (like being in a hurry to board a plane flight) make mistakes - everyone knows that. She might have left it in a pocket of her coat and been unaware of it. She is only guilty of being a famous American at the wrong time and the wrong place. It is a "cheap shot" at EVERY American by a Dictator that poisons his own people and now sends them to fight and die in a war that makes Russia poorer and weaker. Historically, Dictators only have brought destruction to their own people. Torturing Brittany Griner is one small step backward for Russia.
