And what's to keep someone who's not a Mason from grasping a hand in the same way? Why is that handshake exclusively Masonic?

The only problem is that, in all the photos you posted, the only person there who was a Mason was Harry Truman.
They were not "Masonic handshakes".
"The Mason takes the fellow Mason by the right hand as in an ordinary hand shake, and presses the top of his thumb hard on the second knuckle, the fellow Mason presses his thumb against the same knuckle of the first Mason's hand."

I didn't see anything in that article about it being Masonic. How do you know exactly? Especially considering the aweful picture quality...

Sorry not Masonic...........
Well, that and a current dues card. Once a Mason, always a Mason, unless you're delinquent on dues.

A hand shake does not make a person a Mason, adherence to the foundations of Masonry-Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth-make a person a Mason.

Well, If you analyse the images posted on this thread you will see the most telling point of the shake is the Pressurizing of the thumb onto the knuckle....very hard to mistake
I have provided the info on this thread for you to cross refer the images with the info..
