As much as it is a shame, this is like the case of the child that took the "hobo Tool" to school. It was against the rules.

There was a policy in place that I doubt the young man was ignorant of. He didn't carry the knife into the school.

It's a shame due of his lack of judgement. He seems like an exceptional young man, but I wonder if he just didn't think about it, thought he'd never be caught, or whether if he were caught why he thought he'd be above the rules.

I feel bad for both the Eagle Scout and Cub Scout in the other similar story.
