    Wow what a story. That would be NERVE WRACKING.

    I’m glad to hear stories about those kinds of law enforcement folks though.

    “Look I’m just trying to make sure everybody’s safe, I don’t think I’m Jack Bauer here.”

    Rather than the comical assumption usually perpetrated by Hollywood that you’d be thrown down and have a K9 chewing on your leg and half the airport aiming at you with alarms going off Lol.

      Mainly I was nervous that I might miss my flight. The only moment I got a little scared was when the lady first pulled it out, said something like “What is this?” and I went to reach for it to show her. . .and she was like “You can’t touch that!” It was at that point I realized I was going to be delayed getting through security. But for the most part everyone was very nice and unconcerned. It was even comical at times, like when they kept running it through the machine, each time bringing someone else over to look as well.

      I was much more nervous when, doing the same type of sales, I got pulled away into customs in Canada, separated from my co-worker, him carrying all of the information, with no cell phone because my phone didn’t work up there. At least that time we were smart enough to send the equipment ahead of us. lol
