[ale] [OFF TOPIC] (You've been warned) TSA wants your fingerprints

[Ned Williams]

WHATS this? I thought only the EVIL...naive'  Bush administration would do
something like this? Certainally not the Hopeful Changeful Obama
Administration? Then again perhaps their too busy egging on the French as
they completely and intentionally disrespect the Queen. :) over an honor
that she deserves more than Sarkozy OR Obama.


Seriously I didn't see if anyone put this..but *anyone* who serves alcohol
in the state of ga has all 10 of their prints taken every year they have
their serving license.

:) have a great weekend everyone
Ned
