A few Muslims are terrorists.    Therefore anyone doing math on a plane is writing in secret code and looking to blow the plane out the sky.

On one hand, these are the same people who want to get the tax repealed, and we don’t have hard numbers yet, so take this with a grain of salt. On the other hand, the whole point of the tax is to reduce consumption of stuff that will kill you anyway, so … good job?
