This weekend, a man was detained at the GATE at O'Hare. He had gotten past the first Security checkpoint - the metal detector - with 7 knives and a taser-gun in his suitcase. The guards removed 2 pocketknives from his person at the metal detector.

This man gave a home address that is the same as two of the suspects in the September 11th tragedy. The owner or landlady (I forget which) of the building knew NONE of these three men.

As a result of a random bag check, these weapons were found in his bag.

And now, 7 people involved in this were fired.

And now I ask you this - can you imagine if this man had NOT been detained?
