I have at least one funny story as a result of all the medical work I have had done. Naturally, I can’t go through a metal detector at an airport without the alarm sounding.

I was flying out of Palm Springs and the TSA agent pulled me aside and started a pat down. When he got to my waist he said “Sir, I’m going to have to inspect your private parts now”.

I responded, “Aren’t you at least going to buy me a drink first?”

Not funny from here. Wife has artificial knees. Does this lady look like a terror suspect ? Just before they took her into the little room. Note the expression on the kid's face.



Grizz

True story as well. In `1970 I was coming back across the border from mex. to usa;the guard was already tired + I was already pissed when he asked the golden question,"Are you an American "Citizen?"Now here was where I fucked up. I made the dumb ass young retort,"
well since you can see that I am over 6' tall,blonde + blue eyed I guess I must be a Nazi from Argentina.WRONG REPLY.

Along the same line,when my son was wounded in the sandbox + was coming back home commercial flight still in uniform. He had pins in his shoulder so of course he sent the machine off. They started to give him the 3rd degree (+ he was still in uniform). Some little old lady in line behind him just belted out,"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE". I do agree that we need some security but we don't need rent-a- pigs that now feel they have authority to do anything they want. JaWohl!.
