Lewis has two other legitimate alibis:
1) “Hey, I’m 82 years old and my memory isn’t what it used to be. I forgot I had it in my suitcase!”
2) “Officer, I’m going to DETROIT, not Dayton!”

If you fly into Detroit without a gun, they will issue you one.

Reminds me of the old Woody Allen sthick:
Inept bank robber Virgil Starkwell hands a hastily-scrawled holdup note to the teller. Baffled, she reads it aloud:
“Please put $50,000 into this bag and abt natural, because I am pointing a gub at you.”
“That’s ‘gun’. I’m pointing a ‘gun’ at you.”
“No, no, that’s definitely a ‘b’.”

With his money why wasn’t he flying in a corporate jet? All he had to do was declare it in his baggage.

What about that scene from Take the Money and Run where's he's in the prison courtyard holding on to a gun he made from a bar of soap, and all the other prisoners are laughing their *sses off from their cells because the break was called off. Apparently, everybody knew but him.
