Patriotme, I remember that story. I believe that similar cases have taken place here in the States when a single round of ammunition was found in a (gasp) school playground. The officials response was just like they had found a bomb big enough to take out the entire school. Imagine the drama CNN could inject into that. There was a thread a while back posted by a gentleman who works for a company that services the cash for coin machines that you see in most supermarkets now. He claimed the most common object that gets fed into and jams up the machines was a single round of .22 LR ammunition. Surely this would be the work of terrorists. But the one TSA story that clearly demonstrated how stupid these isiots are would have to be the case where they confiscated Jos Foss's Medal of Honor because they thought it might be used as a weapon (full dress medal, not the ribbon). What really angered Joe was the fact that they did not even know what the Medal of Honor was and that they were going to throw it in a trash can. You can't make this stuff up. We are in serious trouble when the President of the United States pins the Medal of Honor on a hero and then the TSA tries to throw it in a trash can. Wake up people.
