i thought it was "pat (or pet) the monkey" .

now in addition to the security issues*, how 'bout the health issues? dontcha all remember how paranoid the uk was 'bout folks travelling with their pets and subsequently quarantining them (the pets folks, not the pax ) for 3-6 months. however in this case, a monkey is not a pet cat or dog and could be chock full of little critters 'n parasites (hmmmm, what if it was a parrot? parrot fever would blow the atl lawyer w/tb out of the water). to me, the big problem is not security from them dern ter'wrists but health issues.


*oh wait, according to the tsa, if the monkey was packing, he would have alarmed.
