The whole thing is an absolute non issue.
The media had a slow news day and this thing for reasons of public ignorance caught some traction.
The whole thing is simply a case of ignorant hysterical bovine scatology.
NOTE:
I am sorry if my use of the term "bovine scatology" offended any of you as I have been informed by the moderation staff that we are in fact as a group very sensitive to less than pure language and should conduct ourselves as if we are in the presence of the church lady at all times. Please keep this in mind while on the flight deck or in the presence of any and all pilots as we wouldn't want to have any of you professional pilots getting their feelings hurt and needing mental counseling for the severe emotional damage that it might incur as none of us has ever heard or muttered a less than APC certified pure adjective verb or noun in our sheltered little lives.
