It's shameful, all right, but it's an old story -- from 2008. Nothing to do with the current madness.

We have to be careful about retailing old stories as if they were new. Stick to things that have happened since 29 October. Someone unearthed a Penn Gillette (of Penn and Teller) checkpoint patdown outrage that's a great read and seems relevant until you realize the incident occurred in 2002.

Bringing up very old stories is not a credibility aid right now.
