pat downs, wands and I went through the machine twice, setting off alarms.
On the third go through, I told the staff, please, let me show you my hip replacement scar.
In Texas, the woman wanted to take me to a private room.
I said no, so in public, she put her hands inside my pants, but over my underwear.
She questioned me as why I was wearing loose pants.

The inspectors had separated the cheese and pates into different plastic bags.
The dogs must have gone crazy over the deer liver pate.

The funniest was when we carried 2 lbs of pastrami from Katz deli in our carryon.
It was called a biomass. They let us take it home.
