I can't believe some of the posts i am reading. This police officer broke the law. He acted like a complete idiot. People were arrested for this kind of thing long before Sept 11. As for calling security guards "Hitlers" - he was a traffic cop....
Lets get it straight. Do you want security or not? It seems to me that guards are wrong if they do their job, and wrong if they don't. I have NEVER met a "Hitler" as a security guard. Someone suggested the police officer was provoked - ever thought that your own attitude might provoke a security guard (who is terrified of headlines like "Hitler missed my nail file")
Main question that the anti-security brigade have missed is: Why did he even have a penknife? Doesn't he read the papers?
As for Max Continuous' comment about WTC security - how do you sleep at night? That was the most insensitive thing i have ever heard
