Bel,

In 99 out of 100 cases you're absolutely correct. However when dealing with the Park Police, in particular those in charge of the Mall in DC, semantics change considerabley. And since it's the DC Park Police who define the rules in this case we kinda have to live with their interpretation of what "live steel" is.

And given the current op tempo in the world, uncomfortable just barely begins to describe it. ;-)
