I did notice while checking the TSA's list of things one isn't allowed to
carry onto an aircraft that they listed the Ice Axe. Now, having seen some
nice examples of climbers ice axes, I just can't see why... (Always wondered
about falling a little ways down the hill as these climbers are known to do
in the movies with such a deadly looking pointy thing teathered to one's
body...)

Have you ever seen ice-climbing? These crazy guys are just like
rock-climbers - you know, climbing up shear cliffs - except the do it
up ~ice~! Frozen waterfalls, glaciers, stuff like that. Darwinism
takes care of a couple of them each year.
