Fast Lane past Security

Texas has decided we need more security at the Capital. They have installed metal detectors and searches at all entrances, but in a brilliant decision, CHL holders get to bypass the metal detectors along with elected officials and state employees.

Another time I am proud of Texas. I think the metal detectors for the general public are a waste of time and money, but at least they are allowing CHL holders around the detectors.

Now if the KGB would allow this on airplanes we could have a little more real security and a little less pretend security.

How to act when stopped by police

Many police are great guys doing a tough job. Your reactions determine how smoothly the encounter is going to proceed. Be aware of your rights and act in a way that makes everything better. It works with bad cops too.
