WW, I think you should re-think that truck mod. It really doesn't do the truck justice, unless you're going for an Eastern Apalachicola Roadside Art sorta vibe.
All kidding aside, I am happy to hear you are basically OK. And you thought Philly was dangerous....
Aikiguy, that FF looks gorgeous. Glad you're gonna use it though...
As for the TSA incident, thanks everyone for your insights. Probably Logan is the worst as far as that stuff goes because the 9/11 cretins flew outta there - so they are still trying to prove themselves, I guess. Work will reimburse me for a new one, anyway - at least that's what they said. As for how work gets done there, I did find that out. It has to be done at night, State Police detail has to be there, all the tool bags have inventory/manifestos and can be challenged by anyone with security status - meaning you have to open your bag and inventory the contents on the spot. Anything missing means you may go to jail. Good reason NOT to lose tools. Luckily, I will NOT be doing the work there....and probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. Should have been my manager, but he was out when the job was booked, so....doesn't matter - I won't be going back. Hopefully I won't even be working in Mass in a few weeks, I'm interviewing with the NH office of my company for a position they have open. It would be nice to put whatever the hell blade I feel like in my pocket or on my belt and know I have the legal right to have it on my person, period.
