I was a baggage searcher back in January, 1973, when the U.S.A. first
started searching baggage at MIA. At that time we were searching for
weapons to avert hi-jackings. It was incredible the stuff people were
trying to carry on and they weren't trying to hijack a plane. In the couple
of months I was there, we found 12 inch knives, all kinds of guns mostly
from women, gallons of flammable liquids, tear gas, cans of spray paint,
and a lot of stuff I can't remember.


You think it's possible that these things might have been carried for innocent
reasons? Not everyone with spray paint and knives is out to hijack a plane.
That was your observation too.

Jose
