[BC] Pirates...Aaarghh!

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

Hopefully. Just remember the instances of State Police and local cops 
who don't know the difference between a 2 meter rig and an evil police 
scanner. I remember a recent case in New York state and then there's the 
mess in Michigan. In the NY case the ham was cleared, but it cost some 
bucks. In Michigan, it depends who pulls you over. And in Michigan, you 
can get a "permit" from the state to operate, but you have to be a 
Michigan resident to get one. A permit so you don't get nailed by Barney 
Fife for a law that already states that hams are exempted. Go figure. 
Leave the toys at home if you vacation in MI.
