Apparently, for some, obesity has its advantages....

I put this here because there really isn't anywhere else to put it. The man in this news item is LARGE. So am I, but he's got well over 200 lbs on me. As a woman, I'm familiar with the "pencil" test - and trust me when I say I can easily hold the entire box! But, what this man held beneath his 'folds' could have proven to be far more endangering to life than his weight! http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/weird/Obese-Inmate-Hide-Gun-in-his-Fat-52795392.html Considering all the possibilities that could have transpired, he's lucky he spoke up before he removed it. But, by the same token, no one even considered the possibility that he was carrying and it could have gone far worse for everyone around him. So - do you think they'll start using metal detectors now?? (In Texas, of all places, where crackdowns on crime are rarely merciful and guns are popular - I would have thought this was a no-brainer!)
