The airport in New Orleans confiscated (yes, took away and kept, never to return) a mini stapler my father had in his laptop bag. This is one of those staplers that is about an inch long, holds 20 staples of that super mini, can't staple thru more than two sheets of paper, size. This was back in November, so everyone was a bit more paranoid. But he showed them it was just a stapler... and they still took it away as a "weapon". I would LOVE to see that happen.... take me to Cuba or I'll fail to break your skin with my mini shards of metal, in my lethal squeeze powered dispenser! Don't make me empty this thing onto my shoe... I'll do it... I'm just crazy enough! And if that doesn't scare you... I'll beat you with this airline pillow! Hell, you could do more damage by sitting in the exit row, and pulling the shiny red handle on the wall. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
