[Skidmore]

that were staying in the shelter there? I saw that last night on CNN on a story called "Children of the Storm". These were really little kids--3-t yrs olds even. Is DHS so freakin' scared of terrorism that they can't look at a little bitty kid who's lost, scared, tired, and hungry as anyone but a potential terrorist?
