As I recall, the "weapon" was an ordinary ball-point pen-looking object. It's conceivable that such an innocent object might not have been confiscated. (Yet another attempt to justify a piece of fiction in retrospect) Now for a trivia question from that episode, what was Gary Seven's office ADDRESS? Walt Morris BTL-SF ...mhtsa!mh3bs!wsm

Gary Seven's office address (ASSIGNMENT EARTH) was 811 East 68th St (the street numbers don't really go that high in Manhattan).

Gary Seven's weapon prop was a record changer spindle. If you hold the
main stem and push on one end, the three record supports pop out of the
other end. Pull on the control and the supports click back into the
stem. It made a great weapon.
I recently acquired a video cassette recorder and a small library of
tapes, including Star Wars I, Hair, Time Bandits, Time After Time, Mr.
McGoo's Christmas Carol (!), and Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn. So
which one do my house guests always want to watch? Star Trek. And
these aren't "trekkies", they're conventional people. Sigh ... I've
seen Kahn "eat static" five times now in the space of six months.
