I too have almost been charged the tourist fee so now I look after the kids while my wife buys the tickets. Imagine an entire family of 5.8 being mistakenly charged the tourist price.(which I don't agree with but thats another thread).

Steve, you crack me up with your moral elitism... I'm sure that bafinance is just trying to bait you into a response and is having fun at your expense. If you think back, can you be really sure that you haven't knowingly been a scofflaw at some time in your life?
