Hank, I agree completely. My statements are merely conjecture since there has never been, to my knowledge, a case of any of this being tried. I just know how knowledge and common sense lacking some of the folks in charge can be. In all my time afield over the years I have met only one CO that I deemed a total idiot and thankfully his superiors felt the same way. All the other COs I've met have been knowledgeable, helpful and understanding, but even they have to answer to a higher up. Even with this being said, all COs are individuals and not all see things in the same light when in a judgement call situation. Not everything is totally covered in the regs and must be left up to the man in the field. What one might not consider a problem another might.
