This is one of my pet peeves: Verifying my identity wasn't what was needed, verifying that I don't have hostile intent was. Today, the verification that I'm without weapons is probably sufficient, given that passengers are likely to fight, expecting to die anyway. Then there's the question of were weapons left aboard for you, but thats incidental: You could answer the question as well with passengers who are anonymous. And incidentally, your math is off by two orders of magnitude. ;) Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
