My only brush with the airport police was being sniffed for drugs on the way home from a conference. I was staying in a bit of a dodgy motel so I almost expected the sniffer thing to screech that I was carrying illicit drugs and then I’d be hauled off in handcuffs to be frisked and have a *shudder* cavity search.

I can totally relate. I get so nervous about the airport. I always arrive way earlier than I need to be. I would rather sit there and read a book for three hours than somehow miss my flight. I'm always nervous about my id, getting through security, and making my flight. I also refuse to drink anything because I don't want to have to use the bathroom on the plane. Once the security people asked me to step over to this class box. They didn't tell me what they were going to do or anything. I get into this box and they suddenly hit me with a super strong blast of air. Come on! I'm short and a red head and I'm carrying a book and a small purse. Honestly do I look like I was building bombs in my spare time (that's what they are blasting you for, to check for bomb residue) Jennifers last blog post..Where I have been

[...] Eventually we found each other and got lost several times. Sadly, we are far too much alike and were hopeless when it came to finding anything. During our adventures I found out that she too was an unintentional terrorist-in-training. [...]

Try landing at Houston International airport on a flight from London and going through baggage and customs with another flight landing from Bogota, Colombia. There were dogs sniffing around than at the Westminster Kennel show! Louises last blog post..Layered Cold Crab Dip Appetizer Recipe

OMG, even though I'd already heard this story it's even funnier the second time around. And here I thought it was embarrassing being caught with scissors. I'll post about it soon.

It was so great to meet you! Other than holding my pee, I'm with you. Prior to 9/11, and when I was in my 20's and tended to get MORTIFIED by almost anything, I had the unfortunate experience of having my sex toy taken out of suitcase and turned on by several Italian luggage checkers in Italy. I wanted to DIE - I'm sure they thought it was very funny. And in Burbank, California, I forgot about a sample of mace in my purse when I walked through security. I got escorted to a small room and interviewed for a long time. That was my narrow escape from being someone's bitch in prison.
