As I have already said Austin, it was a silly question and I guess I allowed
myself a silly answer.

It's rather hard for security personal to do their job by not speaking about
it... it's not illegal for security personnel to say "hey - looks like we've
got part of a firearm here...". How else would you suggest they do the job -
sign language...hmmmm?

as the saying goes.... ask a...... get a stupid answer.

guess I let myself in on that one
