He's refering to the guy who told the government he was going to smuggle
banned items into an aircraft and did so and got caught. Not exactly the smartest move in the world. I think the reference is to smuggling a razor aboard an aircraft. He may get some free room and board out of this (in a federal pen). 73 from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA "Rev. Firefly" wrote in message ... What pray tell the phrig is a "razor test"...??? |

Actually, the individual in question smuggled banned items onto multiple aircraft, including notes describing the contents and providing plenty of contact information for himself. He then emailed the TSA at the end of his trip. The items were not discovered until five weeks after his trip. Then the TSA found the emails and passed them to the FBI which came to get him. I think he knew what he was doing. I don't agree with what he did, but he made a statement and he appears to be willing to do the time.

He had a point to make via a typical college kid civil disobedience maneuver and boy he made it. In SPADES. Congress is already looking for Transportation Security Administration heads to gnaw on for this one. Welcome to America . . Jack. w3rv |

Congress is already looking for Transportation Security Administration heads to gnaw on for this one. Welcome to America . . Kind of on a par with Matthias Rust, the German student pilot who flew his Cessna into the Soviet Union and landed in the middle of Red Square during the annual Border Guards something-or-other holiday. Definitely made a statement! Rust's stunt was a whole 'nother level up, To successfully get away with penetrating the Soviet air defenses in that global hot spot with a just Skyhawk then having the audacity to fly it all the way to Moscow unchallenged *and* plop it onto Red Square has to be one of the all-time government-shaking stunts pulled off by an individual. And he did it to a regime which had no qualms about shooting down commercial airliners which strayed a few miles into their airspace. The kid had gonads the size of watermelons. He drew a ceremonial year then they tossed him back over the wall. In the meanwhile back at the Kremkin legions of Soviet military heads rolled. OYeah, Rust made a "statement"! They mentioned on the radio (KNX 1070 in Los Angeles) that he has also been protesting the mandatory draft registration, but that protest hasn't been making any real headlines. You have to wonder, then: is he just trying to make headlines regardless of the cause, or what? He's a student at a Quaker college which explains some of it. Quaker ideology includes often strident far-end pacifism and they've opposed conscription and war going back to roots of their faith in the early 1600's in England. "As a Peace Church, the Society of Friends (Quakers) has always played a leading part in opposing preparations for war. The Peace Testimony, which is a very important Quaker principle, arose out of the belief in the in-dwelling Light or ``that of God'' in people. If that of God was a reality within oneself it would be denying the inner Spirit to take up arms against another." http://websyte.com/PositiveChurch/quaker.html The rest . . . ? Who knows . . no doubt we'll get his explanation at some point after he's "duly processed" by the same gloms he embarassed the hell outta. w3rv |
