Quote:I'd say the size is more like half of a full-sized keyboard. Maybe the size of a shoe, and they make us take off our shoes because they might hold enough explosive to bring down an airplane. I'm still not sure why I have to take off my shoes when I go into a courthouse, it's not like the courthouse is going to plummet 35,000 feet if a shoe-sized bomb goes off.


 

In any case this is typical government in action. It at least seems more reasonable than suspending a kid for bringing a gun into school when the gun in question is the one carried by a 3" plastic army man.
