"Mithered?" I've never heard that word before.

I'm not giving up on being prepared just to make it easy on the rent-a-cops. That's exactly what they want. They want you to be fearful. They want you to want to avoid the hassel. They want you to simply chose to be metal-free. That's not for me. I'm going to be as inventive and creative as possible while still being perfectly legal and innocuous.
