DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON!!!! (Part the second)

I reported the other day that a 10 year old kid had been unable to resist a "Do Not Push This Button" sign at Philadelphia's Northeast Airport and had created quite a mess. It turns out that he has been falsely accused and the actual problem was an equipment malfunction. He will however remain on the "Do Not Fly" list as there is no process for removing anyone.

He should count himself lucky that his name isn't Mohammed al-Tikriti. If it had been he would be enjoying an all expense paid holiday at Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Resort. Nonetheless I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be waterboarded before being sent home. It can't do him an harm and there is no way of knowing what fiendish plots he might subconsciously be aware of. Perhaps thousands of lives could be saved.
