Re: [Owner] [PhilosophicalM] Friday Five May 17


 

Was the smallest version banned from commercial aircraft carryons?
I don't know if the mini-Leatherman (the Swiss Army Knife¡¯s competition) is available without a blade or whether that one was banned.? I carry a mini-Leatherman while backpacking, and my backpack has to be checked anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter.? Few people carry pocketknives these days, and perhaps the company is trying to increase its acceptance to travelers who don¡¯t check bags.? The other consideration is that in these times, any little pocketknife might be considered a deadly weapon by overzealous police, and result in anyone frisked being charged with possession of concealed possession of a deadly weapon.

actually first I don't know how to spell the name but got the point across.? Second - this is a proposal that came across the wires recently - apparently something about people thinking they are just tools and trying to take them into restricted areas.

David,

It's a silly question and I gave it the silly answer it deserved (especially in light of the misspelling of Victorinox). The question does not merit an answer.

Aloha,
Celeste

1.? Should Victronix remove the blades from their Swiss Army knivees?
There is no maker of Swiss Army knives called Victronix. Perhaps they make sound equipment?

General Dwight D. Eisenhower

3.? Do you think the Dow Jones Averages will finish over 40,000 on any given day this year?
Very soon!

4.? Are you going to go on vacation this summer?
Probably not. We've been caring for one of our dogs that has become crippled (can't use her rear legs) so I don't think we can leave her with a caretaker.

5.? Should a president have the capability of rescinding an executive order posted by a predecessor?
No. They can be challenged in the courts if they are thought to break the law or thought to be unconstitutional. That's adequate.
