[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1233715, member: 28856"] I wouldn't call it hypocrisy, but a sign that times have changed. If Bush Sr. or early Clinton had a picture like this there probably wouldn't have been an outcry either, but after columbine and 9/11 guns in mainstream culture went much more taboo especially on airlines. There'd likely to have been bloody murder cried if Bush jr did something like this. Hypocrisy doesn't work when the culture is different, 20+ years ago you didn't hear about people getting picked up by homeland security because they insulted a flight attendant and made them cry, same as 60 years ago no one flinched if a child took a rifle to school because they were on a shooting team at the school.
