...why Americans constantly complain they aren't allowed to bring their guns into courthouses and schools and I dunno, airplanes, and yet Americans are now complaining that the TSA is going to allow people to bring little tiny non-fixed blade pocket "knives" mostly useful for cleaning fingernails and about as dangerous as a key, which is already allowed, onto airplanes?

I mean, I'm sure this isn't a perfect circle but if you had a Venn diagram I have no doubt there's an overlap of at least some size between the two circles and the existence of this overlap, no matter how small, makes my brain hurt.

This is bad on airplanes:

This is good on airplanes:

I hope I'm wrong and someone with these two beliefs in their head doesn't exist. I hope the Venn diagram has no overlap, just two perfect, separate circles.

I am probably wrong.
