[SCA-AE] ANNOUNCE: Background Check FAQ

[Baron Dur of Hidden Mountain]

Bismallah Assalam O Alykum Wa Ramatullah Wa Barakatuh

Sounds like a good time to roll out the "adult-proof kid bubbles".  Just
stuff your child into one of these, set the time lock for the 18th birthday,
and Wa-la!  No worries!

Standard models come with feeding tube and evacuation port, and are
available in six attractive color combinations.  Deluxe models include
battery, USB, and Ethernet ports.  All models have a lifetime warranty on
parts and labor.

(This has closed captioned smilies for the humor impaired.)

The Kid-Kontainer 5000 (patent pending) has the Sacred Cows Association Seal
of approval, and is made of 30% recycled plastic (that's the green bits you
see) as requested by the Social Conservation Authority.

Separation Containment Appliances are reviewed and approved under Guberment
Compliance committee regulations specified by the Benevolent Overwatch
Department.

Salaam,
