Thank God I had my coins in my carry-on!..

Well no matter how long the line, or delay flight I rather deal with that then be shot up in an airport,or worse falling some 30,000 feet!

I put a sticky note on my boss's shirt once. On the plane, he was asleep, and FAs were passing out meal service in coach (years ago), and the note said "my father is hard of hearing and doesn't understand English very well. Please speak loud and slowly". His reaction to being awaken was priceless!

 

Well, that's an integral part of the nation's war on terrorism, the idea is that these evil doers will be so scared of having their watch and laptop stolen from their baggage, that they'll just skip the whole exercise.

 

On my way up there they pulled my backpack for extra screening. I looked at the xray and didn't blame them. My laptop was out of coarse but I had a large hardback book in there (looked like a rectangular box) and a few charging cords unwound and just thrown in there. It looked very much like a "device". It was funny and I was joking to the agent that I didn't blame him with the way that xray looked. Just glad they didn't feel the need to prod any of my orafices lol

I think my bag was searched by TSA on the way back because I had a large metal cylinder in there that was the water bottle they gave students to stay hydrated. Didn't think of that when I packed but it was like "duh" when I unpacked. Maybe the books too they were about 5in deep so the xray probably couldn't get through them all. I'm thinking that's why they also put a slip in with the books

 

Shoulda seen me going to FUN in 2013. I had my imaging rig in my carryon, including a couple Jansjos, which have cement-filled bases for stability.....

I think they thought I was transporting explosives. It was interesting for a couple minutes.

 

DUDE!

 

You all do realize that you have all been put on a no-fly list.

 

The last time thru I got a pat down --

and was less violated by my proctologist

 

Lmao. I am sorry, but that is funny s*** right there!

 

And by giving that warning you've just joined us.

 

Every so often I answer the phone "Good morning to my friends at the NSA, this is ..."

I'm sure they like to feel appreciated.

 

Hey guys, I did have a coin in my bag. My Morgan money clip I just threw in there. Safe and sound. Guess he really only cares about half dimes lol
