Ooops, I Forgot

Exactly how does one forget to remove the home made pipe bomb from ones bag before going through airport security?

It’s bad enough we all have to worry about terrorists. Now we have to also worry about good ole yahoos. Why does someone make a pipe bomb just for fun anyway? Hello?? This is not the time to screw around with such things.

I’d like brain cells for a thousand, Alex……

Well, let me just say, I'm all for security nowadays, but I'll share with you all what happened to me on my girl's week-end trip to Myrtle Beach S.C. We flew out of BWI on Hooters Air (not a bad airline by the way). Yours truly was randomly selected to be super searched. I of course said, ok, no problem. I'm all for being safe. They were nice enough to even give me a female officer who offered me more privacy if I wished. I was a good sport and said no I'll be ok. Well, off came the shoes (sandles actually) They examined the bottom of my bare feet...my calluses(? sp), then came the metal detecting wand...now all 9 of my friends are laughing and pointing....the exam continued with a physical pat down of my thorax, between my breasts and in between my legs and buttocks all the while I was spread eagled....I was declared bomb free and told to have a good flight. While I got the physical pat down my carry on was emptied out completely and repacked by the TSA. I thanked one and all and stated "I hope it was good for you, cuz it was good for me....Ha! Ha!......I went on the MB S.C. and had a great weekend...Fast forward to Sunday afternoon, MB S.C. Airport....guess who was "randomly" chosen for the super search????You got it. I'm so lucky, that this "random" thing got me twice in 72 hours. I should buy some lottery tickets. The same routine ensued, but this time the pat down was even harsher (what's up with that?) Needless to say, I was still a good sport, BUT enough is enough. In MB Airport they took EVERTHING out of my carry on and my handbag including my wallet, down to the dollar bills, counting them one by one?????? They were allegedly looking for "bomb residue". Now I'm not a dumb person, but I guess they thought I was born yesterday. Anyway, I made it back, but I really was not thrilled the second time around...the novelty wore off and IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR ME......Nutcracker Sweet 54
