I'm sorry...But that's my feelings on the matter. My sense and reason tells me that to ensure the safty of others, then we just need to realize that we have to make some sacrifices in what we will be allowed to bring onto a plane. Because there is a very real threat of terrorists using those instances to blow hundreds of people out of the skies.
I can sympathize with the senator/congressman, as he wasn't intending harm to anyone. BUT, if the security makes an exception for him to allow it on the plane, then they also have to make exceptions for everyone else who states they want to bring their PB&J on that plane too...
And IF one of those were a terrorist, and their suppossedly PB&J really wasn't a PB&J...Hundreds of deaths would result because of those 'exceptions' being allowed.
I just found out through this search, that one of the bomb components made from peanutbutter was nitroglycerine...So that oily looking stuff on that supposed innocent looking peanutbutter sandwhich could have possibly not really been just peanut oil.
That's one of the things Washington Carver and developers were working on when he passed away...A simpler way to produce nitroglycerine from the humble peanut. And they had succeeded.
