I had no choice, got trapped into visiting the local SS office today. The friendly rentacop was there, same one who wanted me to walk way across the parking lot to put my cellphone in the car.
He was busily searching the purses of two little old ladies when I got in line, my turn came and he started the standard speech. then, he recognized me, he started to say "cellphone" but he cut it off after the first syllable. At any rate I made it to the waiting area. After about 15 minutes I told him "I'll be right back, I'm going out to the trash can to get rid of some snuff". Then I headed out the door. Damned if he didn't follow me out the door, I could sense him right behind me. I spit in the big trash can and turned to go back in, and he said, "Is that all of it?" I said, "all of what"? He said, "snuff, you got any more in your mouth"? "This is a federal building, can't have any snuff in your mouth".
I won't repeat what I said then.
I thought I was going to get a cavity search!
They will no doubt X-RAY my old butt next time I have to go!
Things have just gone way too far.
Not to give in to them, but give snus a try....they’ll never see you coming.
I always expect trouble too...
The underwire in 3D always sets those machines off! LOL
The stories I could tell!!!
And as John Paul Jones said: "We have not yet begun to fight."
Death to Islam! (I know it isn’t appropriate, but it makes me feel better. :)
So, that's what I'm doing wrong. And I thought they just didn't like me............
Since my back surgery in 2006, and knee replacement in 2007 I have quite a bit of metal holding me together. In the past two years I have had several occasions to visit government buildings. I have had, like others, to remove my keys, cell phone, and even my make up case that contained a pair of clippers from my purse and place them out separately on the conveyor belt for scanning. However when walking through through those devices that check for metal objects on one's body never once have I set off an alarm (and I never had to explain about the metal replacements in my body). I find that very interesting.
