Well "if you knew what I knew" about sparklers you'd never leave your house

You forgot to mention when they found the playdough and boxcutters they began to inspect EVERY USA aircraft (SouthWest, I think, did inspect all their planes, probably only the bathrooms) then a couple of hours later decided there was no threat and recinded the order. To date they've been given nearly 6 billion dollars (in only 2 years!). I wonder how many billion they've cost airlines and airports with in their haste to protect us from among other things, sparklers.
