The name of this story should be "Child repeated after his father in JFK tower" Directed traffic? I think thats horribly misleading. I highly doubt that this kid was manning the scopes, punching the buttons on the console, and waving those little paper strips (if they still have them) around. The worst offense here is him keying the mic. All he did was repeat after his pops who no doubt was plugged in right next to him and was actually "directing traffic". Whats sad is he might lose his job because of the alarmist in this country. I would venture to say that at no point was safety compromised in this little adventure.
