Because of one vocal complainer, Christmas trees have been removed from the Seattle airport:

There will be no more Christmas trees at Sea-Tac International Airport this season after the Port of Seattle received at least one complaint about them.

For more than 25 years the airport has celebrated the holidays with Christmas trees over its entrances. But overnight the Port of Seattle ordered all 15 trees removed.

"I think it's very unfortunate. Why lose the Christmas spirit? Christmas is for kids," said passenger Lisa Jones.

The Port allowed holiday decorations to remain but decided to take down all the Christmas trees after a Jewish religious leader complained they were offensive.

"It's a Christmas tree! It's not like they were displaying crucifixes or menorahs or anything religious, but Christmas trees that have been around here for years," said one employee, who asked not to be identified.

Angry airport employees have started a campaign urging people to call the Port of Seattle to complain.

The Christmas trees are now in storage or hidden in unused areas of the airport where they won't been seen.

Many passengers say it's overkill.

Overkill, indeed. Stupidity, undoubtably.
