Judge caught at airport with knife hidden in shoe
The Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. - You don't get to take a pocketknife on airplane - even if
you are a state Supreme Court judge.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Thomas Saylor Junior faces possible legal
action after a small Swiss Army type knife was found hidden in a shoe in his
carry-on bag.
A police report says security screeners found the knife on his key chain and
advised the justice he would have to put it in his checked luggage.
Authorities say he hid it in the shoe instead.
A prosecutor is reviewing the case. A spokeswoman for the federal
Transportation Security Administration says Saylor also faces possible civil
action, must likely a fine of up to 6,000.
