Joe Biden did it again.

Biden, notoriously known for saying things he probably wishes he hadn't, was on NBC's Today Show this morning. Hours after President Obama said in a nationally televised news conference that the administration was opposed to sealing the border with Mexico in the wake of the swine flu outbreak, Biden had this advice about travel:
I would tell members of my family -- and I have -- that I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. ... It's not just going to Mexico, if you're in a confined aircraft and one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me. I would not be at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway.
That didn't sit well with Tim Smith, a spokesman for American Airlines:
To suggest that people not fly at this stage of things is a broad brush stroke bordering on fear mongering.
Biden's office later released a clarification.

No advice from the VP about taking Amtrak to Guadalajara.
