Oy veh!... Don't get me started!

Personally, I think if the guy has earned a CMoH, he's earned the right to carry any dang thing he wants on a plane or anywhere else.

He's certainly earned the right NOT to be searched/interrogated by airport rent-a-cops (even now that they're federal employees) infatuated with taking knitting needles from grandmothers and toy guns from childen.

That's an outrage!

Maybe later, when I've got more time, I'll tell you how I really feel about it.
