It would seem the bus she was on passes through a federal property. Denver or the feds should re-route the bus or have a checkpoint at dis-embarkment anywhere on the federal property rather than harrassing innocent people trying to get from point A to point B if those points have got nothing to do with the feds in-between.
Thats all I can tell from the articles which were rather small and lacking detail. The bus passes through a federal facility, they should retool that so only people getting off show ID. Sounds like a pretty ignorant arrangement if they're checking everyone just for being on the bus. Besides needlessly harrassing citizens it seems just plain inefficient (the feds being inefficient?? Crazy man!)
