Rich Klein In December 2001, I needed to take some time off to satisfy the minimum (sic) number of vacation days I had to take at Beckett. Also; my dad had just had "the fall" and I wanted to spend some time with him around the holidays.
Flying back from Newark to DFW it was an absolute nightmare; made worse by what I thought was a ridiculous rule about taking off one's shoes. (If anyone ever sees what shoes I wear; you'd understand why I thought it was weird)
Lo and behold; 2 days later the "shoe bomber" was stopped before he could light his bomb.
From that point on; I always figured there was some stuff the government knew that I did not.
