Hi Ed,

The main ingredient that is missing in Airport Security is, Common
Sense!  If you depend on the fact that the 'screener' can speak and
understand the English Language, and that they can comprehend the basics
of  life, as you explain them, then you will be disappointed!  I have a
large piece of metal in my artificial shoulder, and I carry a card that
describes the problem.  But, I am never disappointed that I will not be
screened by a scanner in a room! So I guess that all I am saying is that
if you try and get a piece of Ham Gear through, and if you depend on the
fact that the screener has common sense, you will be disappointed!  The
Muslim Terrorists have done their job, they have travel in this Country
all screwed up! They have won!  We are the Victims of their garbage!

Take care,

Ed Ciecierski    WB5WOU
