They thought you were going to use your jacket to smother the bar-staff? That makes as much sense as me having to put my contact lens case in a clear plastic bag so I can fly on a plane. Clear plastic bags are well known for their bomb-proof qualities. I heard on the news yesterday that the 'committee' that looked into the Virginia Tech massacre have 'concluded' that if the they had had more warning, Virginia Tech could have save d lives. Sheer GENIUS. How long did it take them to come up with that 'insight', and how much were they paid. “If it has a zipper, it’s a jacket,” So he made everyone check those 'jackets' you wear on your legs too? And all those woman that try to call their jackets 'skirts' or 'dresses' had to check them too? So what happens if you are wearing a light summer jacket that has buttons so could pass for a shirt? This is the kind of nonsense that the terrorists want. We are doing their job for them. They thought you were going to hijack the bar and fly it into a building?

Several school incidents, including Columbine and Virgina Tech, have given this country a bit of an uneasy feeling. It's worse when it happens in the first week of the new year.
