Re: [CON] GZG East Coast Convention

You bet they checked cellphones at high alert levels.

Heavier than a cellphone should be, packs 4 x .22 cal. Outstanding 
assassination tool. According to the article The Proper Authorities have

been watching for these for a couple of years now.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are
hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
