Letter to the Editor
We've clued terrorists in on security measures
The Tennessean


To the Editor:

"Never reveal that you know a 'tell,'" advised an article on poker recently.
A "tell" is a quirk or mannerism that gives away what kind of hand you are
holding. One player related a story that he knew another player's tell and
used that to know when he was bluffing and won a tournament.

The opposite situation occurs when the second player knows you know his
tell. Then he can use it to deceive you either by not giving the signs or
even giving misleading signs to make you bet incorrectly.

I surely hope that the terrorists do not know anything about poker. An
article March 29 reveals that the airport screeners will look at peoples'
faces to see if they are planning mischief. It was a good idea. Now that the
terrorists know what we are looking for, they will disguise it.

Can you imagine WWII with today's people in charge? "Today is D-Day and we
will be attacking Normandy, so get those reinforcements at Calais down here
to greet us."

What is next? Will a sign in the concourse disclose that today's flight will
have an armed air marshal in Seat 15B? You don't have to tell everything you
know.
