There's the problem. We're $14T in debt, and paying these people with money borrowed from our grandchildren. With accumulated interest it'll probably take 2 man-hours of work from the private sector to pay for every hour of salary and benefits for the people, and this is what we're getting for it.

I know what you're saying about inviting trouble and I know your posting well enough to know that you're no pushover at all but how far do you want to bend to their political correctness and bureaucratic blindness just to avoid a hassle?

I guess I won't fly at all because of this kind of nonsense but then I wouldn't fly much even if it was easy. We've got to push back against it some way though.
