#2 "Obviously this item should never have been carried on the airport."

Not obvious to me. A gallon of gasoline poses a lot more danger that that hunk of metal. Howmany people drive through that airport with gas?

#3 I've seen those Grenades at offices with a sign "Complaint Dept, Take a number", and a tag with '1' on the pin, probably the same thing. (Had one at the DMV last time I was there)

#4 Thats what it sounds like Redneck Jim - barely made the morning news.

Nimble Spemble, it is Hays Kansas so not very many :) Probably look more like a bus stop to y'all.

#5 i wonder the mind think that would be in place to come to the conclusion that an inert object that is in no way a weapon and in no manner illegal to possess would 'obviously never to be carried in an airport'

good god... maybe we should obviously not bring peanut butter to the airport. after all there are people who have fatal allergic reactions to the mere smell of it.
