It is really getting troubling to see that every government action is looked upon as a political response. The loss of faith and trust in this government over the last 6 years has been astounding. Unfortunately, it is totally deserved. God Save the Republic!

I thought SWA had flown these *chilren* on a red-eye flight, a week or so ago. There was a FReeper on (one of) the flight(s).

SW needs to tell em to f-OFF! What can they do? SW can simply fly people. Is the FAA gonna deny landing rights? Guard any gates to prevent ppl from boarding?
