Connecticut Opinion: Editorials, OpEd, Letters To The Editor from The Hartford Courant:
"'What, pray tell, is a dual-use item?' I asked. I'm afraid I chucked just a little, causing her to glare, withhold a satisfactory answer and call her supervisor. He hefted my rock, scrutinized it for a moment, and agreed that my specimen was indeed a dual-use item, meaning a potential low-tech weapon. During those uneasy moments when I thought I would be detained, I wondered if a doctor's stethoscope would also be declared a dual-use item, since it could be used to strangle a pilot. "
Imagine if he'd written "Kip Hawley is an idiot" on the rock. Though that seems to be set in stone at this point.
