"A Metro Atlanta man was arrested Tuesday when he tried to board a plane with a gun at Hartsfield International Airport."
"James Todd was taken into custody after officials discovered a loaded .9 mm handgun in his carry-on luggage. Todd said he forgot he had the gun."
" 'Everybody has one of four answers: I forgot, I didn’t know, or it belonged to my husband and wife and his story fell into one of those four categories,' Hartsfield Security Chief Willie Williams said. 'It’s very difficult not to know that you have a loaded .9 mm firearm in your carry-on baggage.' " ...
WARNING...
Be very careful of the dreaded and heretofore unknown ".9mm" round. It may be extremely scrawny, but it moves really fast.
Fortunately, the reporter on this harrowing case, Jon Shirek -- not to be confused with Shrek, the green thingie in the movie -- is a "decorated Journalist"; he'll warn us when any of these new, skinny rounds show up on the streets. (Isn't this the reporter who also saved the day by urging people to watch out for the feared "semi-automatic revolvers"?) |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
