The stupidist thing I Ever Heard of!

I never saw anything about this in the news, but it seems that Continental Airlines has subcontracted much of their work to companies in Iran! For example, the printers they use to print off tickets at the airline counters. When they are found to be defective, they are changed out with a good one, but the other one has to be sent to Iran. Doesn't this seem to be about the dumbest decision ever?! It seems a lot of Continental work is to or through Iran.
