I disagree with this. We don't live in Communist Russia. Shelters are not Gulags. Combs, forks, and sundry bathroom supplies are not weapons. Only in a police state would anyone suggest this. Since when does FEMA treat citizens as criminals?
Why didn't the the National Guard confiscate car keys? Key rings? Shoes? Belts? Laces? The metal hooks on bras? Why did they not cut off all straps on backpacks? All of these can be used as weapons. There is no logic behind it. Just reactionary foolishness.
