Weapons at the G20???

An editorial in The Korea Times points out that certain concealed weapons may not be detected at ports of entry and are now being traded freely among bad guys.

The G20, scheduled in November in Seoul, will bring some of the world's most influential leaders out for discussions. Korea is always trying to establish itself among the global elite, and is taking the best precautionary measures it can to make sure things go well.

"They are made from such materials as zytel and grivory, both reinforced plastics. Some of them have blades over 18 centimeters and can inflict fatal injuries.

They are classified as "pseudo-knives" in Korea because they are not made of metal, and so can be possessed without legal permission.

Making them even more problematic is that it is highly likely that terrorists could smuggle them in, considering that current checks are not fool-proof. Only 10 percent of arrivals undergo thorough checks by hand and metal detectors fail to provide 100 percent detection."

While they have some work to do to ensure people's safety, they've got some time to get things together. They're going to be just fine. Although, the protests will be massive. Yikes.
