P-38.......

AIRPORT CONFISCATION STORY FROM THE DETROIT NEWS!

THE ARMY gave Ron Hingst a P-38 when he was 19 years old, and he carried it faithfully for 35 years, through good times and bad times and lots of airports. A security guard at Newark International snatched it away this month, and now there's an empty place in the Howell man's heart. Also, his key ring is lighter. Hingst's P-38 was not the Walther pistol of the same name, or for that matter the P-38 Lightning fighter plane from World War II. It was a can opener -- a 1 1/2-inch-tall piece of metal with a small, hinged triangular beak that folded out to puncture lids. The Army developed the P-38 in all of 30 days in 1942. Many consider it the military's greatest invention. It doesn't break, rust or dull, and until C-rations were replaced by Meals, Ready to Eat, the P-38 was a soldier's invitation to dinner. As two generations of veterans can tell you, the P-38 was also a first-rate screwdriver, boot cleaner, letter opener, carburetor repair tool and anything else you needed it to be. But today, apparently, it's dangerous and obsolete. Hingst, 54, flies at least once a month. A few weeks ago, he and his P-38 set off to Quebec City to play hockey. He went from Detroit to Boston and Boston to Newark, and his can opener passed muster twice. Then, on the final leg of the trip, a guard stopped him. "You got to give me that," the man said. "C'mon," Hingst protested. But the clock was ticking, the line behind him was only growing longer, "and what could I do? I'm going to argue about my can opener?" Coming home through Boston a few days later, Hingst saw a uniformed National Guardsman and decided to get himself some sympathy. "Can you believe I had my P-38 confiscated?" Hingst said. "Well, it should have been," said the Guardsman. "The 38 is a sidearm." Hingst thus discovered that the P-38 is no longer standard issue. So he still doesn't have his can opener, and now he feels old.
