My funny part was when he had to open my suitcase. He had to hold his hands up and ask if I had any incendiary devices in there that would blow up if the suitcase were opened (like Peter Graves and the self-destructing reel to reel tape recorder on"Mission: Impossible"!). Then he opens it, and this big, shiny metal thing the size of a big brick is in there, and they had to take it and x ray it again. He was so kind and apologetic, and, I think a little embarrassed. I laughed it off- should have asked him out for coffee, and shared the pumpkin bread, lol!!
Yep...i went through the same procedure. When the guy saw it was Thomas Jefferson, he seemed a bit chagrined! LOL!
