I would like to comment on the Air Traffic Controller issue. I was a 911 dispatcher for 10 years. While we never let our kids talk on the radio, we were always encouraged to allow our kids to come into the dispatch center for short periods of time. This enabled them to learn what we did and understand why mom or dad may come home a little stressed from time to time. I thought it was cute to hear the kids on the radio, but in this PC correct world we live in it can't be done anymore. Don't forget to make sure your kids don't say a prayer or take their bible to school. I think it is our duty as Americans to be a little less judgemental and a little more supportive. You can be assured that the gentleman was watching what was happening and would have quickly moved his children out of the way if he needed to.
