Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.

shame on him. the justice should get more than a monetary fine for this. he broke a federal law.

You'd think people in Position would know better.... but then you've got Nixon, Berry, and Clinton - to name a few.

Agree, it may be a nuisance, but judges are not above the law, no one is. In fact judges ought to set an example. If he doesn't want to lose it he should leave it at home.

Just a thought. Isn't the most importing information to find out here whether the judge was a Republican appointee or a Democratic appointee? :):):)

I hope he is a smarter judge than he is an airline traveler. Nice to see the security was able to detect this.

I mean, is there anyone alive at this point that doesn't clearly understand you can't carry something like this on an airplane these days? Sheesh!

If he carries it all the time, he probably forgot it was with him. When I was a juror, I forgot and brought my little pocket knife and had to check it. I commented that it was ironic tha they would trust me to decide the future of another citizen, but not trust me with a 2" pocket knife. Later that week I brought in a bag of bagels with a half dozen plastic knives and they never even look in the bag!
