Good thought; I travel a great deal; and I have
found that a vest such as:

    works well... mind you I also carry many other
things so you might not need a dozen pockets.

    I carry a Samsung 7" tablet in one of the lower
pockets; It's no problem with TSA - I toss
the whole vest in the tray... I, however have broken
Nooks in the same pocket - they are not as tough!

Cheers,
AC because I like not getting searched.

They really must come off as Nazis compared to what he's used to dealing with. Doesn't help their logo bares a striking resemblance to a swastika.

heh then again I think the same thing about the Columbia coats logo.

I think the Fuhrer would use their products to outfit the Third Reich if he had the option - especially in Ballistic Shell grey.

I agree that people ought to put up or shut up. I have a brother who is a site foreman for a contruction crew. He does his best to ensure that his workers are legal and that his subcontractors hire only legal employees. Sure, he could make more money--as his bonus is based on site profit--but he is of the same mind as me. Hire those who have come here legally.

What I am saying is expand the worker visa program. Allow the visas to meet the demand. I work with several people that are on worker/student visas and enjoy it thoroughly. Provided there are jobs available, allow them to come. But document them.

One other thing about your post. I think for the most part we agree. I also think that employers, such as good ol' Jim Bob, who blatently hire illegals ought to be harshly punished.

Finally, on a humorous note, I generally buy Columbia brand socks. I am funny about socks and these are my favorites. They are generally not cheap, although I usually get them when they are on sale. Checking with Columbia, I found http://www.columbia.com/investor/standards.cfm. So, not only am I not buying those cheap Walmart socks, but I am also checking to make sure my sock manufacturer is not employing slave labor to the best of their ability.

The .vbs viruses... they seem to have come from Columbia. A look at the source of one of them reveals
rem "Plan Colombia" virus v1.0

As a Columbia student, Columbia resident, Columbia wearer, Columbia listener, Columbia purchaser, and Colombia consumer -- and as an American, patriot, and staunch promoter of all that is good and right in this world -- I beg you to kindly note the small, but significant, difference between Columbia and Colombia.

Think of the children! Otherwise, the terrorists have already won.

Thank you.

...the incorrect spelling of Colombia.

Actually, Columbia is the name of a university in New York City. (and popular brand of sportswear).
The fact that this story describes a band of well dressed, collegate Revolutionary Armed Forces is less annoying than it is scary....
