Fred Smith on TV

Fred Smith is scheduled to be on Fox News Sunday on Dec 2nd. Be interesting to see what he says about volumes and growth. I have a few questions I'd like to ask him too but I don't think I'd be allowed on.

The word was that he would discuss how the government could use FedEx's technology on tracking packages around the world to track illegal aliens and other criminals.

Careful, there's a video of Newt saying this that will get you almost banned on here. Please put this stuff to rest.

At the risk of being banned...While dropping my daughter off at school today, I was listening to FOXNews on XM radio and this topic came up. They were discussing upcoming segments for the morning and an interview with Fred Smith was announced. They brought this subject up as a possible topic for Fred Smith. I did not hear FS on the radio, as I made it to Starbucks and a sit down with the local paper before that segment came on. Just the facts, you decide!

Will you approve the subject if we use more politically correct terms like "undocumented" instead of the more accurate "illegal".

Those were the words from Fox News. It was a serious discussion, not intended to be offensive or humorous. The reference may be more analogous the possibilities rather than an actual legitimate resolution, but their marketing of Mr. Smith's appearance includes this area of discussion.
