Kesher Talk

Great moments in airline security: I forgot to mention the fun my fiancee and I had flying the unfriendly skies this weekend.

Why did the "officers" at the metal detectors ask me to remove any change, any gum or candy (which has aluminum foil), etc., when the bloody machine did not notice that I still had a bunch of quarters at the bottom of my pockets that I forgot about?

And on the way back, why was my fiancee one of the only ones to be "randomly" chosen for an intensive search? Are terrorists generally masquerading these days as pretty blonde women wearing Tevas (which are obvious ways to smuggle dynamite, let's not forget) and small purses?
