Taming of the screw

A screwdriver name Petruchio?

What's notable, in this day and age, is that they actually let him on the plane with a screwdriver.

Swingman notes:

And that's the truth. Guy in front of me one day last summer getting on a plane to P'burg (all planes out of this P'burg go to the big P'burg) got hisself just about stripped of computer tools. I'd guess that little enterprise, taking his toolkit on board, cost him some hundreds of bucks. It always amazes me what government types feel are dangerous stabbing weapons in one guy's briefcase, while the guy behind has a briefcase with 8-10 ballpoint pens and a dozen sharpened pencils.

Try having to take a tool pouch in to an airport (LIT) and working on the computer wiring in said airport because they asked you to come in and work on the said computer wiring!!!! Glad I get paid by the hour!!!

Sorry to jump in "Off Topic", but do you live in Pittsburgh, PA??? Forgive me if you've indicated this before - I'm having one of those "Duh" senior moments...

My musing about the dangerous combination of arrogance and ignorance may not be as original as I thought...
