With all due respect to Chief Glidden, he is speculating. One telltale is the conclusory phraseology, "it would seem." "It would seem" is traditional lawyerese for "There is no reliable answer in the case law, but this is my guess as to how the question might be answered by a Court considering it for the first time."

I, for one, would not bet my liberty, clean record, or LTC on his speculation being affirmed after the fact by the Court in which I was indicted for carrying in a Post Office.
