Not many months after 9-11, an eldery octigenarian gentleman was treated even more rudely by the security staff at Denver's airport because he was carrying a medal suspended from a ribbon that they claimed could be used as a weapon. The security staff were all too ignorant to recognize the Medal of Honor or the name of the man carrying it: retired Marine General Joe Foss of WW2 fame, trying to return to his home after being the keynote speaker at a Veteran's affair. Greg, while I enjoy your posts, DON'T preach to me about civility when YOUR nation was closely aligned with the powers of Europe that gave us WW1 & WW2. No one from those countries with their record of butchery is entitled to say one word in rebuke when the subject is civility. You don't have the moral right to do so. Walker Smith
