"things that merely evoke the image of a bomb or weapon are met with intolerance": I call it fear... The deaf boy story is amazingly stupid too. It seems to me we've put to many people in a position to restrict others liberties/rights, and now we pay the price of stupid "rules" or interpretations of "rules". When you give someone a uniform (it's an allegory), you give him power, which must be handled with care... and intelligence. I see all this as a lack of intelligence/common sense.
