Wow. My story isn’t that bad but last month I was flying from CA back home after packing up some of our stuff for the move.
I always travel with a lot of electronics, in my backpack I had my laptop, my palm pilot, my husband’s palm pilot, 2 cell phones, ipod and digital camera.
I also had a garment bag as carry on and in the garment bag was some of my husband’s business suits (he stayed home but wanted me to bring them back). The night before, after I had all packed up, I realized I forgot to pack our wireless router so I just threw it in the garment bag since my backpack was full.
I get stopped by security. Why do I have all these electronics? why 2 palms? why 2 cell phones? Why am I carrying a wireless router? Why do I have men’s clothes (btw I am 5’ and petite, hubby is 6’ and broad shouldered, no way would his clothes fit me)? Why did I pack it in the garment bag? Where have I been? Where am I going? How tall is my husband? Why isn’t he with me?
Then they took out ALL of the electronics, scanned them twice, scanned both bags twice, wanded me (which is fun b/c I have dental implants) and finally let me go.
And this guy gets on with explosives?
And this guy gets on with explosives?
That is why I don't fly any longer. They put the innocent through the third degree and give the guilty a free pass.
