Anomolies

Feb. 3, 2012

While passing through security in Grand Rapids, I was screened in one of the full body scans. This machine can detect a gum wrapper in your pocket. While standing there waiting to be told I'm good, the TSA agent is radioed.

He says, "They are registering an anomaly in your groan area."

I smiled and replied, "Thanks. Could you tell that to the cute agent up there checking tickets?"

At this point every agent within ear shot was laughing. Needless to say I was taken to a side room felt up from head to toe with emphasis on my goodies. As inconvenient as this was, I was never angry or disrespectful.

The moral of the story is don't get bent out of shape at someone for doing their job.
