I like the get the TSA doing something useful bit. Free drinks won't help everyone. (I, for one, would turn it down, nor does alcohol make everyone comfortable). But I do think if they're going to grope us, offering us drinks, flowers, and a meal is more appropriate than not doing so.
As to the books... not sure I like The Little Engine that Could one. So, all the male engines are either powerful or old, but too busy to do childcare and nurturing tasks. One female becomes unable to handle the childcare so another takes over and works really hard, all by herself, to make herself able to manage the incredible burden of caring for too many kids... how is that a good subversive message?

The one with the intern is horrible.
