Airport security
This is not a rant. This is not me bitching about how Airport Security is always harassing me, making me unpack all of my portable studio and it’s wiring, or even making me remove my shoes. This is simply an expression of surprise at this mornings LACK of security. No complaints here.
Recently, I have been noticing that I have NEVER had a problem with a lighter in my pocket or the other 4-5 in my laptop bag. I guess they’ve slowly accumulated. One pyro-maniac with hair spray could EASILY hijack a plane by setting all of the over-teased flight attendants hairstyles crafted by the early 90’s, in a blaze.
Today I was in a rush… Which I’ll go into another time(probably 5 min after writing this), and ended up carrying on a bag that I had deliberately intended to check. The reason for this being the fact that I, as a musician, typically need certain tools to maintain my guitar. Sometimes a capo, or peg-winder becomes a questioned item at the x-ray belt, but is allowed to pass. The only item I need that I KNOW they will not allow(very understandable) is a set of wire cutters. Well, my “to be checked” bag was where I decided they would go. As I’m putting my “no longer to be checked bag” on the conveyor belt, I remember the wire cutters. Oh well, I figure I’ll let them take them from me. Except for the fact that they didn’t even question my bag! This happened again in Detroit, when I mistakenly went to the baggage claim instead of the connecting flights gate, and had to re-enter through another security checkpoint. Ah, I’m willing to trade safety for ease anytime. Notes
