You made a mistake with your quoting; I did not take the photos though I am quite honored you credited me with them.

I think I'll join TSA after I'm released from jail. Considering that they have lots of felons working for them, I think I'll fit right in!

What's worse - there are still forces in this country who want to ban (or find the purchase or reading of, suspicious) the sale of magazines like Flying, or Airliners.
