This is actually interesting. Some of the guys in here know that my
office is on Wall Street in NYC.

Wednesday morning, on my way to work, I have to go over Brooklyn Bridge.
They have now checkpoints because of the terrorist threats to attack NYC
landmarks and B'klyn Bridge.

Anyway, I am being stopped in my Chevy Tahoe and the cop tried to look
through the tinted glass in the rear and didn't see anything.

Now, I had the cover pulled over MY double 104 steel tanks! I was glad
that I didn't have to explain that the most dangerous material was
enriched air... otherwise, they may have arrested me.

Good on one hand, because I did not get into trouble, bad on the other
hand... I could have been a terrorist smuggling in tanks filled with
something totally else...

Anyway... later

Udo
