Thank you for clearing that up. Did not think that you wore a man bun hairstyle.

Actually, he isn't as funny looking as you might imagine.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I believe there is a statute now giving protection in some circumstances, a "King's X" if you will, to prevent prosecution.

I seem to recall a news report that DFW gets more handguns at checkpoints than any security posts in the country.

About a year ago, Salt Lake City Airport (SLC) started to put up big, clear signs right before you walk up to the X-ray machine, "Firearms Prohibited Past This Point." I imagine SLC has more than the average person forgetting that he has a firearm on him as well. Guess they figured that a reminder right before the security check might help cut down on some of these instances as people see the sign and take an extra moment to think about it.
