Yes, we have always treated the law similar to the border customs
officials....somewhere between God and a wild animal...just stay as you
are, don't make any quick movements, be contrite and humble, and its
also *not* a good time to be asking your fellow astronomer, "Hey did
you bring your 9 millimeter with you?

That's marvelous!

Well get it out, I need it".
Clear skies,
