@ShanaLD: If you can grow meat in a vat, you can grow leather in a vat.

@Korrupt: In this case, yes, the traveler was being a dick about it. He made a big fuss, threatened screeners with sexual assault charges, recording the whole thing on his phone.

@jibbly: Ask anybody aboard United Airlines Flight 93 if they wish they had a gun, or if it might have made a difference.

@Simon Templar: Your flat-out statement "Green Lantern is black" shows a lack of knowledge about the Green Lantern franchise and its history.

@Curves: Excellent idea. But I think that the TSA should check that your ammunition is certified as safe for aviation use. I.e. frangible projectiles.
