That Thing I Keep Forgetting to Mention:

[captainsblog]

Federal Buildings are virtual armed prisons these days. Metal detectors, all bags x-rayed, positive ID required, cell phones and liquids confiscated, and that magic state-issued attorney ID in my wallet which whisks us past such stuff in state court buildings? They no workee. (A lawyer complained to the Chief Judge in charge of such decisions. He showed the lawyer the box of weapons confiscated from just lawyers over the previous year.)

The court security peeps- actual federal marshals in Buffalo, Wackenhut rent-a-cops in Rochester- are decent chaps, and usually I just leave my wallet in the put-metal-objects-here carrier with my ID fanned out so I don't have to make an issue of presenting it on request.

Late last week, though? As I proceeded to do just that to one of the Wacken-nuts (who I'd seen before, but not as many times as some of them), he stopped me and said, and this is an exact quote, "Yes, I know who you are."

All I need fathom now is if I am destined to become P.M. or the honourable member from Flydale North. Either of which would be an accomplishment, if you think about it.

I ten-d to doubt it. These guys have their senses of humour surgically removed, and without that element, DW is just a sci-fi show without nearly enough shoot-em-up-bang-bang (qualities I tend to think are encouraged rather than removed).

*headdesk* You might try not posting spoilers, even casting spoilers, in the clear-- some of us prefer not to know.

Wow. I guess some lawyers just have really tough clients ...

Did I ever tell you about the time I visited the Family Court in Brooklyn? A guy was out of his head on crack and decided to attack his girlfriend in court. The judge (ex US marine, needless to say) vaulted over the bench and put him in a chokehold until the bailiffs could take him away. And as the cracker was being taken away the judge v. calmly said: "And needless to say, I will be finding you in contempt". It was the most awesome court hearing I've ever been to.

Wow...your reputation precedes you.

I can only imagine the crap I'd have to go through if I were a group home social worker now instead of 15 years ago. I went to courtrooms all over NC.
