Airport officials are debunking a story posted on the Internet.
The story from WorldNetDaily.com claims that Kansas City International Airport built foot-washing basins for Islamic taxi drivers. The article alleges that airport police are afraid of Middle Eastern men who congregate near the wash areas.
KCI spokesman Joe McBride said the story isn't true

How about cleaning up a few pigs in those things? Now that would be a photo op! And then post them over the basins. Since they are not for mooslimbs only.
Yep...in the Marine Corps we’d have those periodic “skin it back and milk it down” inspections to check for that.

At work, we have a mop cleaning basin that looks like a cross between this “abulation” basin and a short urnal.
No moslems though.
I used it as a floor level urinal - the regular one are hard to use with crutches.
I hope they flushed again before they washed their feet....
How embarrassing!

in the upper left hand corner and click on listen. Apparently she was not all that Happy with the answers the airport gave (I missed the program was busy so this is 2nd hand but that is the jest of it)From what I hear she is on our side and Rush follows her show so assume the whole station is on our side.
Just leave a handful of pork rinds floating in each one.
As far as I know it is illegal to do so - the only place these are - are in mosques

So, if Christians got together and paid to build a chapel with crosses on airport property, it would be OK as long as they said it was for anyone to use?
My post was meant to be sarcasm.
I know. I'm just saying to them, not you, that by their logic (that the foot baths are for everyone) my scenario of the Christian chapel should be OK.
That is the logical assumption from what they have said about it.
