When President Nixon called for the death penalty for sky jackers, this pictured may have helped to influence him. It was taken in the Marshall's office in Brooklyn, New York and represents the results of one week's frisking of passengers passing through Kennedy Airport. Automatics, daggers, ammunition, even a hand greanade all were discovered by the stringent security checks at Kennedy in a seven day period. All the guns were later tested by ballistic experts to find if they had been used in recent times. Then the haul was destroyed
