Wow. People really are too paranoid these days... Sucks to be that kid!
Oh my, I posses two hammers, an electric drill several very sharp craft knives, about a hundred of nails. All my flock could be used to make camouflage, and all primer bottles are an explosion hazard. I also have a map of Queens with an \"X\" marking some mysterious spot..I must be planning an attack against the \"X\". wait a second \"X\" marks my own house.

I did something similar in college. I was really big into Thief: The Metal Age, and I went nuts with the level editor. I decided to do a level based on the school\'s very interesting library. I stopped working on it after my co-workers at the University PD gave me some funny looks about it. I didn\'t think it was a good idea to tell them about the hours I spent staring at the building doing research.

no, wait, DON\'T DO IT!!!
it\'s like not being allowed tweezers on an aeroplane, if you can take over an aeroplane with just a pair of tweezers, you deserve it!

I really dislike what these schools are doing to students these days. It\'s one thing if they are actually intending on hurting someone, but obviously this kid was not indenting on causing any harm to anyone.
Back in about 1997 or 1998 I got a small baseball bat from a baseball game I went to, and brought into my elementary school classroom for \"show and tell\". The bat was about a foot long, inch wide, had the team\'s logo printed on it, and was clearly intended for display/collecting.
It was taken away from me because of the \"it could be a weapon\" kind of thing. Taken from the scrawny, short, little kid who was friends with everyone. Great way to make a 10 year old kid upset. lol

Fear-mongering. It\'s the way of the government, these days. It\'s the obvious step up from simple sensationalism, which was the wave of the late 80\'s and early 90\'s. People are no longer as impressed by the news stories of death and murders and sex scandals, so to get a reaction, the media (and thus, all the other sheep) leap onto \'the terrorist threat\' as a means of getting a reaction.
Which is, of course, the object of terrorism. To cause paranoia and make the authorities stupid about what they react to.
Mission accomplished, it seems.
And as a reply: If Matthew Broderick could get out of an electronically locked room with a pair of scissors and a tape recorder, then it should be easy to take over a plane with a pair of tweezers, a ball of yarn, and a pair of knitting needles. Oh, wait. They wouldn\'t let knitting needles onto a plane. They have pointy ends. Someone might stab a stewardess (excuse me, Flight Attendant) for getting their drink order wrong.
And people wonder why the population is getting more and more cynical.

Wonder how Chuck Norris goes on getting on a plane ?? he could use anything to take over a plane.. maybe they strap him up Hannibal Lecter style...??
two quite amusing things relating to this topic...
one me and my missus got a warning letter from the 3 year olds nursery last week..He made a gun out of some lego bricks and we were told that this kind of thing is frowned upon and we have to discourage it or he won\'t be allowed to play with the bricks... They\'d freak if they saw his collection of lightsabres, laser guns, blasters and rifles.... I really don\'t think they\'ve ever seen a current kids TV show...
Secondly I went to school with one of the london bombers and he lived round the corner . Subsequently every so often when something is happening to do with the bombings I get news crews at the door. two weeks ago I had the BBC and ITN both round filming and interviewing me about the latest video... One of the ITN crew was freaked when he came into the kitchen where I was mid modelling and on the table was various puttys, magnifying lamp , broken open Watches and watch parts various wires and clippers nails and all manner of sharp bits and pieces .... along with a list of addresses and built up and padded out boxes ready for posting stuff...quite amusing seeing his face I think he thought he\'d hit on a new news story....

A simelar thing happened to me, ages ago there was a story about one of the suicide bombers in Iraq who had travelled there from the Uk killing a bunch of people. I recognized him as a taxi driver on the next street from mine from the picture in the news story..

Thief! Awesome game!
I really wanted to do something very similar and make a half-life level based on my university (Bristol, if you were wondering). I thought the chemistry and biology buildings would be especially brilliant for it. Would have been too cool to have jars of acid instead of grenades and be chased by mutated pashina girls (special attacks: pash slash and hypersonic giggle). Perhaps it\'s just as well that my concept was way, way beyond my skills! lol
Er, is this wrong? ???

Course, there\'s always the ever lurking -
NOBODY EXPECTS THE FORT BEND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE!!
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I\'ll come in again.

Apparently, to these people \"Asian kid with hammer\" = \"next VT shooter\". Great police work there Lou!
We tried to make a Quake 2 map of our department in grad school... it turns out real building layouts do not make for very good deathmatch environments. It\'s hard to make a good game map that\'s fun to play in.
