My wife and I went to the North Carolina State Fair last night. At the gate there were five police officers checking bags and such as we entered. My wife's bag was checked and the police looked me up and down. Now I'm OK with this, but the irony is that once we were inside there were three makers exhibiting knives and tomahawks. From all appearenace they were for sale, and on two tables they were out in the open and easily accessible.
Now to my point. I'm glad that knives and such are a part of the Fair and I think they should be. I would have liked to have seen even more. I guess I'm just feeling like we are kidding ourselves with this whole notion of security.
I won't even go into how easy it would be to get a killing instrument on to a plane no matter the level of security; short of boarding naked.
Any thoughts?
