There is some concern I have mulled over in my mind, about youngsters
getting a ticket too young. Until fairly recently, I thought it would be
great ...

However, having seen quite a few individuals who might be of a "pedo
nature", now not only do I have a concern about youngsters with internet
access but also with a ham ticket!

Actually youngsters and their parents need to be concerned about every
person the youngster comes in contact with. Look at the news reports of
teachers who have taken advantage of young people. Keeping youngsters out
of an activity because they *might* run into a pedophile basically means
keeping them locked up at home. That just isn't going to work.
