Traveling with tools

[Ron Nossaman]

There's a universal rule of bureaucracy to the effect that anyone in the 
system can and sometimes will allow something that's on their list. They 
will not, and cannot allow anything that's not on their list except at the 
supervisory level - which typically isn't available for comment. The only 
way a low level bureaucrat can allow something not on their list is if it 
is specifically named as being not on their list (rather than merely not 
being on their list), pending random review and arbitrary revision of the 
list by unspecified sources. In any case, you're in the wrong line, and I'm 
on my break.

I wonder how they'd feel about a tuning fork, if any of you remember what 
those are...
