Wow, this Staples clerk isn't too bright.

I'd go back to the store, grab the clerk, and tell the manager "this guy is the reason I'm never shopping here again".

Staples needs to apologize to the customer.

This was out of the ordinary and kind of raised a red flag...

Yeah...buying flight simulator software is rare.  
I strive to be the man my dog thinks I am.

I just realized something. This person was looking for MS Flight Simulator, or at least should have been. It is perhaps the best flight simulator out there, right? From what I know of it, it is good enough to teach you a lot about flying. I've heard of Navy flight students using it to teach them pretty much everything they need to know before entering flight training. So if MS Flight Simulator is so good, and could teach you enough to fly a plane around, isn't Microsoft supporting terrorism if you apply the logic of this sales clerk? Sounds like another reason to break up Microsoft to me.

And what if I HAD grown up in a Staples? Isn't that my business? Why do you want to know? Are you a TERRORIST?

How about this? The pilots are dead, and the terrorists are flying the plane. The passengers decide to stage an uprising, and they eventually kill all of the terrorists. Uh-oh, who's going to fly and land the plane? Hey, I've had experience with MSFS, how about me?
I know you were being sarcastic, Keith, but that's the argument I would put forth if someone was serious about it.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.
