Everyone best remember that Joe Foss made the news last year when he was singled out in an airport line, searched, and his Medal of Honor confiscated while the airport security people worked to determine if it was dangerous. It got some press, but it should have been a national outrage.

Thanks for the reminder.

I had totally forgotten that story. They must have been profiling that day. /sarcasm.
Yes, that should have been a national outrage.

I dang sure was. But yes, you're right, that alone should have caused Congressional hearings on our so-called airline security / passenger annoyance system.
RIP for great American. He has left a legacy few can hope to equal.

I can't decide what's more horrifying - what this
country did to Joe at the airport, or the fact that
the security rodents didn't recognize the medal...
