BTW, on every leg of one trip I was taking once, I was given the wand because of some steel-toed boots I was wearing (smart, huh?). (I could have easily concealed a Derringer in each boot, BTW, but this was pre 9/11). On my last flight, I finally wised up and took off my boots and put them on the x-ray belt. I thought the security guy was going to pass out from laughing, but I figured I needed to help them do their job, instead of their just assuming I indeed had steel in the tips of my boots.

That's cool. Are you sure those steel tip boots weren't just a cry for attention? ;^) I'll tell you though, I always stayed clear of you guys with those steel tipped boots if I ran into you at a tavern. It generally signalled a very capable ass kicker and I didn't want to learn if a surly disposition went with it. That's just smart partying, cuz it's all fun and mirth until someone gets hurt! LOL Regards
