Call Bob Knight. Or, was it Billy Tubbs? Barry Switzer? I don’t remember. One of those guys had a gun in his carry on, and got off scot-free.

I've heard of such cases a number of times. The hard part in this instance is finding a good, experienced local lawyer and knowing how to proceed.

I believe it was Switzer. He had a nice large legal team that made it clear that any prosecution would cost the prosecuting agency far more in money and community good will than they would benefit from a conviction.

Moral of story: When charged, hire the best shark you can find.

Barry Switzer. Unfortunately this guy isn’t the head coach of professional football team and wasn’t about to get on a CHARTERED flight.

It was Switzer, and it was long before 9/11 if it matters...
