That argument belongs in the same category as Polar Bear Repellant. You're not doing much to counter the accusation of absurdity.
Having nothing (immediately apparent) to do with air safety and someone with a prominent identity carrying an even more prominent award aboard a plane. Stay on target, Gold Leader...stay on target!
!i!
Wait, so what you're saying is that if somebody says "a is worse than b" and I ask for examples, that's not topical?
Nobody mentioned a thing about celebrity problems on planes. The exact statement was:
Literal and unimaginative interpretation of the rules causes far more problems than celebrity does.
I'm asking how it is that people not being allowed to bring weaponlike objects on planes causes more problems then celebrities do. It seems to me to be a direct response to the statement made. If that's not topical please tell me what is.
