Rumor has it, somebody was giving Sen. Harry Reid a tour of the facility and it went something like this:
Sen. Reid: "What does this button do?"
Tour guide: "Well sir, that would bring the world's busiest airport & Delta's primary hub to a screeching halt. It would take us an hour or more to re-boot the system."
Sen. Reid: "YIPPPEEEEEE!"
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
