Airport Security… and me

You know you’re in trouble when you see your suitcase being reversed right back into the TSA security machines.

- “Is this your luggage, ma’am?”

- “No, that’s not mine. That belongs to a criminal, which I’m not. Ok, it’s mine. I’m the criminal. Except I’m not. I’m not a criminal. I swear. I’m a good person. I’m nice. See? I smile at you.”

- “Ma’am, you can not bring more than 3 ounces of liquid with you on an airplane.”

- “Ohhhhhhh, that’s just my Diet Coke. And it’s almost gone. I don’t even need it. Just throw it away. Well, I do need it, but I can buy another one.  Do you like me? Should I stop talking?”

*crickets*

Out came the blue plastic gloves.

Out came the explosive testing strip.

Out came the shackles, chains, and prison sentence. Well, not really, but it sounds interesting. For someone else. Not me. I’m innocent.

My advice to myself: Just shut up.

Speak Your Mind

    LOL I would have to myself the same thing :-) I tend to talk more when I am nervous, and the blue gloves really would have make me nervous.

    I haven’t been in an airport for so long. I have no clue all the rules anymore. I’d be all crazy

  4. Nicole says:

    LOL! Uh huh! Secret blog agent!!!!!!

    Yikes! I haven’t flown in so long that I have no clue to what the new rules are. My mouth tends to run like it has the shits whenever I am situations like this. Ugh!

    LOL! This has happened to us more than once. When we went on our honeymoon, Jdaddy borrowed a backpack from his cousin for our carry-on. We almost got picked for testing, and Jdaddy panicked. He said he never thought about what might have been hidden in the backpack. His cousin is a bit of a rebel!

  7. LOL. That diet Coke addiction is causing problems.

    Too funny. Our our way back from Vegas, we decided to use an extra bag we got at the convention to make sure our bags were not over weight. We knew we were allowed three bags each. They asked us if we were traveling together and hubby said yes, and then they said we were only allowed a total of five bags if traveling together …WTH, our tickets cost the same! We ended up having to carry one bag on the plane…so out went the contact solution, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and hair gel…and my hair stuff was not cheap…I was not happy, but I understood, except the part of cutting us to five bags from four!

  9. You know I haven’t been on a plane in years but I doubt I will anytime soon either. My grandfather always got patted down like a criminal cause he had a steel thing in his knee! It was very weird and well it sucks to have to go through that every time to fly…….

    I learned as much as you want to tel the TSA: Shove up where the sun don’t shine, you can’t. You smile let them dig through your personal stuff, let them touch your junk and move along.
