George; Let me turn your question around for you to think about.

If you had posed the question six months ago .. "When was the last time you heard of terrorists taking over two commercial airliners and flying both of them into the World Trade Center and flying a third plane into the U.S. Pentagon?" ... it would have sounded just as stupid.

You don't think that 80 year old men (whom you think should be exempted from searches) are capable of hiding weapons on their person for others to use?? I do.

To answer your question... yes, my brain is hooked to my hands .... as are the brains of 80 year old men as well. That's how we get them to move.
