"All right, he took away my ability to carry a pocket knife on an airplane."

I think that has been prohibited since the hijack craze of the early 1970's.

"He made me guilty until proven innocent by taking away my ability to carry a pocket knife anywhere."

Are you a felon? If so, the prohibition against carrying a weapon predates President Bush by a considerable margin. I'm not quite sure what else you could be referring to. I'm sure many of us still can and do legally carry pocket knives almost everywhere. I know I do.

Your charge that I am a government "spinmeister" is, frankly, pretty silly. If I am then I have yet to get my check <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
