This is quoted from the lawsuit link.
I heard a couple of those from a CP at EWR. I laughed in his face. He was a retired active duty Lt Col. from the Army. I don't think he knew what to think when a new hire (6 months) laughed in his face and walked out of his office.

BTW, I only used 30 days my first year. All for a PME course.
