Clearly the baby was a national security threat.

The Honolulu security and customs never ceases to amaze me. From my experience, very unprofessional- which is a question in itself due to the high demand of tourists that rummage through there.
What threat did these people pose?
If anything, fine, detain the mom and the nurse AFTER you stick the baby in an ambulance.
This is just another case where I find myself wondering "If this is who they are hiring - who are they turning away?"
