S.I.D.A. in the Salt Lake airport

Over the Christmas break I went out west to visit some family and I saw something that made me chuckle. I was in the Salt Lake City airport and as I was getting ready to board the plane, I saw on some of the doors a stop sign with the abbreviation S.I.D.A. in the middle.

It made me stop and think because that (as you probably already know) is the very common abbreviation for AIDS in Spanish. I bet it's an old joke among all the Latins that work at the airport there.

By the way, what it really stands for at the airport is Security Identification Display Area.
