|Loaded Firearm (SHV)
Inert Ordnance and Grenades, etc. – TSA continues to find inert hand grenades and other weaponry on a weekly basis. Please keep in mind that if an item looks like a real bomb, grenade, mine, etc., it is prohibited. When these items are found at a checkpoint or in checked baggage, they can cause significant delays because the explosives detection professionals must resolve the alarm to determine the level of threat. Even if they are novelty items, you cannot bring them on a plane. Read here on why inert items cause problems.
|Artfully Concealed Items (Clockwise) BOS, LGB, PHL, ROA
- Seven inert grenades were discovered this week. Six were discovered in checked-baggage at Anchorage (ANC) and one was found in a carry-on bag at Las Vegas (LAS).

|Airsoft Gun (PBI)
Airsoft Guns – Three Airsoft guns were discovered this week in carry-on bags. Two were discovered at Palm Beach (PBI) and one was discovered at Abilene (ABI). Airsoft guns are prohibited in carry-on bags, but allowed in checked baggage. Airsoft grenades are not permitted in checked or carry-on bags.

Firearms Discovered This Week in Carry-On Bags
You can travel with your firearms in checked baggage, but they must first be declared to the airline. You can go here for more details on how to properly travel with your firearms. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. Travelers should familiarize themselves with state and local firearm laws for each point of travel prior to departure.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the line is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

I really HATE those under the floor mounted mastercylinder setups!!!!!!! The pedal should/will be hard as a rock...and mister I mean HARD!!!! Like standing on a rock..THEN the canister is probably fer ****sky!! Try something from and s10pu...might work best!! Actually the best thing is to get your mastercylinder up on the fire wall and not under the floor!!! Just my opinion of course...save yourself a LOT of HEADACHS!!

power brake booster vacuum canister??
Ok you all help me to confirm that the booster vacuum canister is defective on
my Ford F1 1950 pu under the floor mounted unit. I test it with a vacuum pump
and it does not pull a vacuum let alone hold a vacuum. I checked the tubing and
check valve they test ok. I bought this new with the master cyl. but it has
never worked and it was over a year and a half since I installed it to find out
it was defective. This is one of those 7" units. What I would like to
know if there is a vehicle make and year and engine that I could use to go to my
local AutoZone or Kragen and ask for a replacement and then get one with a life
time warranty and probably cheaper then I paid for the pair. The place I got it
from are not around to ask about it for a while they are out to some car shows.
Thanks for your help Ed ke6bnl

It saddens/maddens me to see people get worked up and divided into opposing "camps" over politics. Which is exactly where/how the Powers That Be want you. Continue to support your party and nothing changes. Yes one party gets an advantage on occasion but it is all undone when the power swings back the other way.My view? BOTH Rep. & Dem. are bought and paid for. They are out of touch with the citizenship and in bed with Big Banks and Corporations. If you want to straighten out the mess that is D.C. vote 3rd Party. And no I do not mean Tea Party. How many election cycles do you think it would take for Congress to straighten up and do their job? My guess, not more than 2. .
... I haven't found any perfect candidates, Ever....
There are only candidates who are better than their opponents in the eyes of each individual voter.
The citizen who witholds his vote until the perfect man or woman comes along will never vote for anyone.
Still no tours of the Obama White House. Beemaster is still on shortened hours. However the Vice President Joe Biden's recent trip to Europe racked up over $1,000,000 in hotel room charges for just two nights worth of lodging.Coming from an adminstration that promised us in 2008 that it would be the most ethical adminstration in history, this room tab is ridiculous.
Poor school kids that saved their money to tour the White House and the special White House kids are spending the money needed to protect the place.
The 800 thousand directly effected in the DOD alone are sitting awaiting the Feds to
I don't see any bright-side to any of this. The proposed savings are BS, the dent in the 1.5 trillion looking to be cut is hardly scratched with a hopeful savings of 85 billion, so really why bother?
and doctors. more and more are skipping the medicare and medical patients. i expect to see the fix for that being a law that mandates doctors see a certain number of each.
move back to Germany even they a sozialist at least the economy is going really well and I'm able to feet the family.
... Few people here have more than one or two kids, three is very rare - It does go back to how much money the working class brings into the government and how much the milker such from the teats, ....we are screwed, ...until the boomers are dead and gone which wont be long. With smaller families today, I foresee the US Population dropping... I don't see us sustaining 300 million in 20 years, this generation has volunteered larger family size for a more comfortable living where they may even save enough to put their kids through school and hopefully ...enter a booming workforce.
The old Soviet Union imploded because ethnic tentions between Russians and maybe a 100 other indigenous peoples had become unbearable.

July 10, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Seven Tennessee baseball players were named to the 2014 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll, Thursday by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. The seven baseball players join a total of 82 University of Tennessee athletes named to the SEC Spring Honor Roll this year.
"What a great honor for seven of our players and for our program," said Volunteers Head Coach Dave Serrano. "All of these guys along with the majority of last year's team exemplified what student athletes are about. I'm so proud of all of these young men for how they are representing our program."
Following the 2014 Spring semester, the Tennessee baseball program maintained a 3.00 GPA, reaching the 3.0 threshold for the first time in its history. While doing so, the Volunteers witnessed senior pitchers Dalton Saberhagen and Nick Williams graduate and receive degrees from the university.
The 2014 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll is based upon grades from the 2013 Summer, 2013 Fall and 2014 Spring terms.
The seven Tennessee baseball Honor Roll honorees include:
Derek Lance - Baseball - Kinesiology
Andrew Lee - Baseball - Kinesiology
Eric Martin - Baseball - Supply Chain Management
Dalton Saberhagen - Baseball - Communication Studies
Nick Williams - Baseball - Supply Chain Management
A.J. Simcox - Baseball - Sport Management
Trevor Charpie - Baseball - Psychology
Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution's NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria should be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
