Thanks for that Sonny. It could work.

I understand what you mean about the yahoos. I had relatives in NYPD and a
couple of PDs in NJ. They gave me good advice about relating to their
colleagues when I got up to the inevitable hijincks. (I'm old enough that
when I was a kid it was possible to get into silly stuff, usually
good-natured, with the police without actually doing anything criminal or
upsetting them, and my relatives helped me to know where the line was.)
That was when a cop's job wasn't as hard as it is now, and they could afford
to be a little more flexible.

They also warned me that some of their colleagues could get a bit gung-ho --
my one uncle called them 'frustrated gym teachers' -- you may be old enough
to know what that means. I'd guess it's worse now. So I understand what
you're trying to say about being careful.

I guess if I go ahead and make the thing I'll try to think of a way to make
it obvious that it's not a weapon.

 
Shalom.
Christian
