The employee will be required to take an airport security training course again,

The rules are for us peasants, not for our betters, such as: former Vice President Albert "Multiple Mansions" Gore, Arrianna "Zsa Zsa" Huffington, Speaker Nancy "Gimme a 757" Pelosi, Congressman Jack "ABSCAM" Murtha, Senator John "Keating Five" McCain, and assorted others...

Apparently Al Gore has gotten over his Bill Clinton envy by becoming the next generation's Jimmy Carter.
He's a HUMANITARIAN--he doesn't get treated like "little people"!

Democrats are above the law, especially laws passed by the Bush administration.
Gore's conduct reminds of Bill Clinton, a man also above the law.

Come on people, lay off the guy. He's just trying to get home faster to shut the lights off at his Tennessee mansion to reduce global warming. He's looking out for us little folks.

Pookie got into trouble for a cartoon with a "bad" word in it.
I don't know all the details, but one Freeper mentioned that we at FR might see Pookie back pretty soon.
I hope so!!

That employee could possibly be fined $10K for each swipe at the minimum if I am not mistaken.
If had been anyone else but Gore she swiped, the airline would fire her I think.
