LMAO!! I literal started laughing out load... my wife's like "what's so funny." I actually got in trouble cause I was supposed to listening to her at the time! But I DO kinda look like Henry VIII in profile. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anything sharp like a knife? OK, now we're getting reasonable... and now we're talking about common sense. Which is exactly the point of my original post on this subject. But where do you draw the line even there? You gonna confiscate my non-locking, non-springloaded Swiss Army Tinker with the 3" blade? Knitting needles? A nail file? Just the metal kind, or how about a cheap emery board with a cuticle tip?

Men have carried pocket knives and grandmothers have knitted for generations. When we are so frightened by the terrorists that we change our whole collective lifestyle in the name of "security", haven't we already capitulated to the terrorists to some degree?

I am very worried that my whole country is being turned into a police state, bit by bit. Today they scrutinize me when I get on a plane. Tomorrow, will I have to go through a police checkpoint just so I can drive into work from the suburbs? And every time I hear the term "Department of Homeland Security" I get that quesy feeling in the pit of my stomach, like when I'm about to rappel off a 200' verticle jump. Hopefully, its not going to be fatal but it sure gives you pause.

Got long winded again, sorry! <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
