But could that person tell the difference after several hours of dealing with the worst terrorist incident on US soil? If they happened to have a radio with them, is it quite possible they might say "that sounded like a gunshot" outloud and then think later to themselves, "no, more likely a firecracker". - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
