    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    All jokes aside... I take it it must be illegal to transport gold on an airplane?

    Brings new meaning to "I feel 10 pounds lighter".
    "Gold is money, and nothing else" (JP Morgan, 1912)

    "“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)

    Do they need to be re-assayed?

    I wonder if it was planned, with the contents of the holding tank supposed to go to a confederate on the ground a la the way error coins were smuggled out of the SFAO c. 1970. For whatever reason the person who was supposed to be on the ground did not service that plane.
