You're in a light-hearted mood, Anselm?
Re sgians, have a care if you value them.
Not long ago I was told by a friend that on the arrival in New York the
sgian he had in his suitcase was confiscated and he was not able to re-
claim it. It was a family piece of some 120 years at least. No
compensation or discussion.
He was told - NO Knives Allowed!
