Great idea for fruitcake. Fruitcake was the big item here yesterday....so much fun!
By the way, when did you get back, meaness! I bet you had a joyful time with your son....I sure hope so! I had errands to run this afternoon and just about didn’t make it back to the thread....you know, nap, etc. all those important things!
JC, I had a wonderful visit,
But, after going through airport security and setting off the alarm, (even though I told them I had doctor’s proof that I have had a hip replacement) I was taken to another room: x-rayed (total body, front and back), felt-up (even private places), almost totally stripped, ‘wanded’ by (IMHO) a pervert, and my carry on was emptied (even tho it had been x-rayed previously), and everything was opened and examined, x-rayed again, scanned. My lipstick, mascara, toothpaste, moisturizer and hair spray were opened and checked for explosives - my wallet and all contents emptied and examined, even my hair brush put through a microscope.
I had tip money in my hand to give to the bellman, and was required to give up the money so it could be checked and held up to the light, to make sure there was no bomb in there.
The entire time, I ‘obeyed’ the commands of Security - never compaining or saying anything derogatory. It took four people almost an hour to ‘clear’ two ‘elderly ladies’.
It was a TOTAL humiliating experience, and I will not voluntarily choose to fly commercial again. Especially out of Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
