Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall Airport to honor the Baltimore-born Associate Justice of the Supreme Court who was the first African-American to sit on that bench.
Justice Marshall was raised in Baltimore by his father, a railroad porter, and his mother, a teacher, to have an inquisitive mind and search for the truth.
Incidentally, they named him "Thoroughgood," but he shortened his name while in the second grade in order to simplify it. That's the sort of thinking that sent him to the top of his profession, where he left a legacy of justice for all.
I don't know where Ryan Moore was born. Ryan is 22, and as Casey Stengel would say, in ten years he's got a chance to be 32, but he might want to make some changes of his own along the way.
I say that because Ryan was arrested for trying to pack a piece on a plane at the BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport recently. He had a .40 caliber rifle in his luggage. He didn't say why.
Actually, this happens more than you might think, people trying to get their guns on the 747. The Transportation Security Administration saw the gun in Ryan's luggage on their X-ray machine, making him the 20th fool this year to try this.
There's still time to catch the 2017 record of 26 firearms snagged by vigilant TSA folks at our airport!
Moore, who has been charged with illegally possessing a firearm, violating airport security procedure and having a weapon in the airport, offered the worst excuse that a 22-year old male could possibly come up with.
He said his mother packed his suitcase for him.
At that age, I would have said I had been kidnapped by gerbils before admitting to that.
Pack your own socks, son.
