I don't have Tourette's but in the summer of 1998 a very nice young man could have kept me off a plane, if he had taken me serious. He was x-raying my carry on bag and I told him that little round object in there was a bomb, you know one of those ball like ones with the fuse sticking out to be lit. He just said "Please don't say that word here, again". He had seen several of those things that day as several people were taking their kids to a national track and field meet to compete. I am sure glad that was back then instead of today since we wouldn't have made the meet in North Carolina, today.

I always think about that one when I see the movie, "Meet the Parents" and the word flows out so easily.

I can't disagree with Jet Blue people since they did hear the word and the day is coming when a bomber does slip by and boards a plane.
