(or so I was told) They might view it as a threat. I learned this when working as a custodian in airport one summer, I was joking with a little kid in front of the security check in and made a gun w/ my thumb and forefinger and pointed at the kid. Real innocent. Anyway, they saw me and balled me out, when I complained to my boss about them being uptight, he bawled (pardon the sp above) me out too. Moral: alot of them are too touchy about things like that to joke about. - Nick
