[Milsurplus] Nonsense and rewriting history.

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I don't really care when metal detectors were installed in the Cohen 
Building.  Nor where or what it is (and before you tell me, let me state that I don't 
really care).  But the one and only time I've ever been called for Federal 
Jury service in Harris County (I remember it primarily because I received a 
County District Court summons for the same day, which became interesting), I had to 
leave my pocket knife and screwdriver at the front door.  This was after I 
came back from Libya the last time, so it was after the Gulf of Sidra incident 
(I was in-country when that went down).  So it might have been after Carter got 
sent home to pound more peanuts.  I only keep non radio related records 7 
years.  But in any case, it had nothing to do with 9/11, the WTC attack, or any 
of those sorts of things.

Although I did say metal detectors, in retrospect, it may have been an "empty 
all your pockets here" followed by a physical pat-down deal.  But it was in 
the 80's.

I don't have to give you any more information about the lock-down.  It 
happened.  It was never reported by the US media.  Several thousand Americans were 
adversely affected by Clinton's hatred, including some D-Day veterans.  You 
obviously weren't there.  There's nothing you can do to change those facts.  Nor 
Clinton's people stealing things from the Carrier (that did leak out and hit 
the US news for a short time before it was supressed).
