We had to pass through security (obviously) to get on the plane and I was used to the drill. Take off all metal, belt, jewelry, shoes, etc. Take off jackets, purse, carry on, put them all in separate bins, take out computer, put it in a separate bin from everything else. Well, I did all that and I was expecting to go through the walkway with no difficulty, but low and behold, I went through and it beeped.

About to go through Security

The guy told me that I had to stand aside and wait for someone to come get me because I had been selected for a random screening of sort or the other, they wouldn’t tell me what it was for. I figured this was code for I had something suspicious with me. So some guy came and took me to some secluded spot of the security area and I was getting anxious. He took my hands and swiped something across them and stuck it in a machine… and I still had my hands held out. He looked at me and said “Uhh, you can put your hands down now.” Woops. Well apparently he was screening for residue of bomb explosives! It scared me half to death! More stories to come.
With love,
Abby
