   No, the article said the FBI spokeswoman said "hitting". So, not only   
   did the FA say this, the FBI person also said it. "It was a 69-year-old   
   hitting someone," Esselbach said.   According to the article, Esselbach   
   is the FBI spokewoman. "FBI spokeswoman Beverly Esselbach"   
      
   I have often seen someone tap a flight attendant. Do you think it would   
   have been unusual for this flight attendant to not get tapped?
