    Brooks Brothers Black Fleece website now online...

    The tux on page 4. Unless thats a jacket and overcoat. Anyway, it's got that "old west" period look.

    I do like the longer vest under the longer coat look of a couple of them, there's a tux in particular that's pretty sharp from the knees up.

    Airport Security

    Lest I seem a negative nelly, there have been some good, effective changes made security-wise. The point is that those are mostly transparant to us, the citizen. The increased (non-invasive) screening of checked baggage is good, as that has been neglected in the past. Checking of carry-ons...

    At least they were government employees who you can complain about without facing arrest or dismissal as "soft on terror"... oh wait. :rolleyes:

    New Star Trek

    How long is Starfleet Acadamy? For example, most of our WWII Generals and Admirals knew each other or of each other even if they weren't in the same class year. Any standout, and Kirk certainly was, would have at least heard of another, and if they were in at the same time, even if not...

    Well, yeah, but that word makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. I can't even write titmouse without blushing. :D

    If I can get motivated to track down the gear, I thought the Golden Age Sandman would be a cool vintage costume.

    Well, according to MSNBC the blur was to cover her pants, not the lack thereof.

    If women can't dress like that on airplanes, the terrorists have already won. lol Apparently the skirt was a bit short, they apparently had to use the "blur" when she sat down for her NBC interview with Matt Lauer.

    A Lot o' Mottos: What are your words to live by?

    Death comes at a crawl, or he comes with a pounce, but whether he's slow or spry. It's not the fact that you're dead that counts, but, rather, how did you die?

    Airport Security

    For what it's worth, prior to the hysteria over the MLK and JFK assasinations and then the spate of (non-lethal) hijackings in the 60's it was perfectly legal to carry onboard US flights. There were no metal detectors whatsoever. Nowadays I wouldn't make it necessarily "unrestricted" but...

    Shoulder holsters?

    Also check John Bianchi's "Blue Steel and Gun Leather" and Ed McGivern's "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting", to name a couple from my library. In general, if you want to know about guns and gear from a period, look for the books written in that period, many are out of print but still...

    Hats and Privacy Vs Public Security

    I'm continually dismayed by people thinking cameras somehow equal "security". All they provide is a means of identifying a suspect after a crime has been committed, they do nothing to prevent the crime. Preventing is security, apprehending after the fact is not. The idea that adding...

    Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it's also absolutely AWESOME! :D For the most part the pre-flight screening process is merely smoke and mirrors to impress the rubes. They are catching no more test objects (fake guns / knives / bombs) today than they did 10...

    Is that just in "town" and is it just for kids? I can't imagine being a kid kicking around even the most urban of woodlots without a pocketknife. Assuming, unlike Alan, you weren't trying for the "Rumbling" merit badge ;), a knife is just a tool and a very necessary one. Definitely a...
