Don Bridick just retired as director of courthouse security for the Madison County Sheriff.
According to an exit interview he just did with the Belleville News-Democrat, here are five objects people had on them while trying to walk through security over the last 25 years or so:
5) Brass knuckles
4) Pocketknives
3) Metal crack pipes
2) Guns (only two; both women forgot they had them in their purses)
1) Cane containing a hidden sword.
