My guess: "probably".

That's good to know. I wonder why we don't see it happen more frequently.

Archie Bunker thought that plane hijackings would stop if each passenger
was issued a loaded gun as he boarded. Hard to argue with that.

Funny spelcheck story.
I replied to a customer and cc'd others at his company.
The old NS spelchecker would immediately send after the last correction.
Being such a poor speller, I'm clicking replace, replace, replace...
Working through the text, the last thing it spellchecks is the name of
the person I replied to.
His last name was Pelanio which spellcheck changed to penile and off it
went!
oops...

<LOL> Yeah, well, they really should rename that "Replace at your own
risk!"
