Hey, Dave --

Seems to me you DID make it reasonably clear that it was humor, with your original subject-line: Subject: Amidst all the concern, a little levity

(But it IS tempting to believe at least SOME of it's true. <grin> I mean, after all, if the "trained professionals" in the TSA can pull Sen. Ted Kennedy out for questioning because there's a "Ted Kennedy" on a "no fly" or some other kinda "suspect" list, it's not all that unreasonable to believe that at least SOME of the people elected to "represent" such citizens could exhibit comparable "competency". ;-)

Sorry, Dave, but this message (as humorous as it is) is an urban legend:
