pocket knives

I was thinking about some pocket knives and how I need to establish the necessary distribution at a predetermined time preceding my demise. Then with that I was thinking of other issues related.  Right after 9/11 the immediate response of the government was to classify anyone flying "guilty" until proven otherwise.  Working in the aviation world I heard some sad stories.
An older man was sitting in the corner of the airport weeping because as he told the airline worker, he as going to his family's home carrying a pocket knife he was going to give his grandson the was given to him by his grandfather.  But he was guilty of being a potential terrorist with an old pocketknife in his pocket.
Not unlike granny goodcookie with the knitting needles she had since she was a child who knitted for her daughter and granddaughters. She was guilty.
This last week was the birthdate of Bob Foss, an American hero, flying ace, and good guy.  Well, until he was going through security on his way to a Medal of Honor banquet.  The low information security agent told Bob he would need to discard his Medal of Honor in the trash along with his Medal of Honor pocketknife.  Why, because he was an old white guilty looking as hell terrorist. A national guardsman stepped up while the security and police were considering sending this American flying ace a trip to jail because he would not relinquish his weapons. "Do you guys know who this man is? He is Bob Foss." And he explained how this guy was no terrorist. Once that came to light several veterans stepped up. Finally he could take his so called Medal of Honor but only because the pilot would feel honored to carry this in the cockpit.  But the knife? If he could kill gooks then he probably kill again.

Also this last week we have heard from a crusty old white guy saying that veterans are guilty as granny with her knitting needles if they supported Bundy or question global warming.

By the time I am ready to pass on my knives those will be outlawed or require registration and finger print recognition. Geesh
