“Ma’am, our scanner shows something odd in your bra. Do you have any idea what it could be?”
“Oh, that’s the money I carry there.”
“Here, can you step into this booth and take it out, then let us scan you again?”
This is what would happen if there was any sanity left.
Aw, you left off “She wanted it”.
Well, duh.
They ALL want it.
(I am of course being sarcastic. “All” would include my wife and all former girlfriends.)
Great story! Sorry to hear you have lost your mom, I know you miss her.
Hello, I’m applying for a job with TSA.
Are you breathing?
Yes.
YOU’RE HIRED!
I haven’t flown since September 1, 1989.
E. The TSA Personnel Dept supports affirmative action for perverts.
Just goes to prove my tagline.
My last stop before CLT earlier this year was a horse farm near Tryon NC. It evidently triggered an explosive alert at TSA based on fertilizer around my shoes. Normally a “preferred” traveler who didn’t have to remove my shoes, I was rather put through the full search process where my carry-on luggage was thoroughly searched and I was escorted to a room where I was completely patted down by a gloved agent with another TSA escort present.
They were quite professional, and I was advised each time they wanted to feel around a private part of my body, but I was not stripped.
In fact the only time I was offended during the process was when I was asked by an “Explosives Expert” if I were “a gun advocate”.
Surprised, I replied that I was a “Second Amendment advocate” but that I had no weapons with me.
Total detention time was about 30 minutes. But as I was characteristically early at the terminal, I went and had a beer near my gate...thinking though, that they might have given me a voucher for such for my trouble.
She must have been packing a load of dough.
I don’t know your mother, but I love her! I’d have been tempted to do something similar, I think.
I had cash in my front pant pocket I neglected to remove before going thru xray. They gave me a ration of crap, but allowed me to remove it and go back thru. Nobody asked me to drop trow. Should have done the same for this woman.
Many people have been lax when it comes to what even goes on the main ballot (i.e. what is called a primary process). Interest levels have historically been low. George W. Bush was, in part, the beneficiary of primary malaise.
If Donald Trump changes nothing else, he has changed this.
Some decades ago when I was a bit younger and more naive, I asked a foreign immigrant how he liked living in a free country. He said, you have no idea what a free country is.
It hasn’t got better since then.
Ready made issue for Trump, or Cruz...or anybody.
LOL but of course!
I haven’t flown since August 1972. (Eastern was still in business.) I win.
I would totally do that! (If I ever fly again)
