I think I put up a reply in a similar thread about the abundance of deadly weapons and/or useful emergency tools that could be constructed with absolutely nothing other than a laptop computer. I'm talking about weapons that would make a 3" pocketknife look harmless by comparison! Explosives, incendiary devices, projectiles and some very large sharps, many of which could be roughly constructed in less than a minute by a lot of people with the proper aptitude. I'm not going to get in to a big discussion on how this would be done so don't ask. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I live real close to the Bell Helicopter plant so I already have enough black choppers flying around over my house.... don't need any more. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I was (and am again) simply pointing out the irony in our current security procedures, while at the same time I realize that any security (okay almost any) is better than no security and we must start somewhere. By the way... if you're looking at your laptop right now and pondering this... yes you would have to completely destroy it in the process. You think the TSA would find it humorous if they started seeing bumper stickers on laptops that read "In Case of Emergency Break Glass"? Probably not... LOL. Actually with a 4th grade education, a lot of them probably wouldn't get the joke. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Like most people I would love see airport security personal have the same level of training and education as SOCOM officers. Unfortunately the majority of taxpayers aren't willing to pay Westpoint graduates to do that type of work <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.
