It's scary when a man is caught in an airport with a live grenade. It is scarier still when it is caught upon arrival! what the hell kind of security do they have in Venezualan airports? Geez i thought US security was bad. Good Job by the British security people though.

What the hell was he doing with a grenade? "Oh that old thing officer, I carry it in case I forget my keys and get locked out."

For some reason they object to my JATO packs. I always ask "But what if the runways cratered or we need to take off with 1/3 the normal length because of the jeeps full of terrorists?" They never do have a good answer.

I was thinking toilet paper, but that's just me.
