Whether you realize it or not, I was actually doing you a big favor (which won't happen again I can assure you). I could have alerted on it and I'm pretty sure if I did, POOF! Your post would be gone forever and it would have been far less effort on my part.

Wingnut propaganda doesn't fly here. If you want to spew bullshit from sources like Worldnutdaily, be my guest. However, I suspect if you do so your tenure here will be short lived, especially since you seem to be so protective of said source which is quite telling.

Suggesting that because I point this out I somehow don't give a shit about TSA workers or children is just about as nutty as your source, BTW.

Cheers!
