I've had one or two on various key rings for many a decade.<BR/>Sold the S+W cuffs long ago, but still have keys.<BR/><BR/>When I unload at a metal detector, they usually need two of those little spit dishes they use. Sometimes they can't even figure out what's in my pockets.<BR/><BR/>"Thats a cold idle shaft adjustment lock tool for a 5.7 liter Oldsmobile diesel engine. Don't YOU carry one?"<BR/><BR/>In my school, we do not allow the students to carry pocket knives. That would be a dangerous weapon, and besides, they might damage the chain saws we hand them, while walking out to the twin turbo diesel twenty ton loader they will be running all morning.<BR/><BR/>Duh.Carteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468700184940877315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-3176262468441463212008-04-12T08:38:00.000-04:002008-04-12T08:38:00.000-04:00You can always pray that something significant wil...You can always pray that something significant will break.

I was stopped at the metal detector and told I couldn't enter with a pocket knife. I was a little shocked, after all I carried it on airplanes all the time (the good old days) I wasn't tackled or hauled off for questioning. (I don't think he was actually an agent)<BR/><BR/>I said, "You're in Lubbock you know. Everyone carries a knife."<BR/><BR/>He said they'd been turning people away all morning.<BR/><BR/>And people wonder why politicians are out of touch. They live in a reality exclusion bubble.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323030245852764303noreply@blogger.com
