There's a post coming on the FPI proposal and the re-emergence of talk show gadflies swarming around this issue.
While I work on it, here's a story from Maine.
Take a long hard look at the picture here in this Globe story.
Now put yourself in the place of the guys manning the US border station in Maine who had this guy show up armed with, among other things, a home-made sword, a hatchet, brass knuckles and a chainsaw with something red on it that appeared to be blood.
Take another look at the picture.
The border guards didn't suspect anything was wrong with this guy.
They just confiscated his weapons and wished him a good day.
Later on, he was arrested on a murder warrant from New Brunswick. Police found the decapitated body of a musician in the guy's kitchen.
I looked at the picture two or three times.
This is such an obvious Momma's boy that if he walked in a bloody chainsaw, I'd just assume he was ok and send him cheerily on his way.
Yeah.
Right.
