Isn’t There Something Wrong With This Picture?
I was in Honolulu this past week for some surgery … having what my general contractor brother-in-law would call some “interior remodeling” done.
After a three-day stay, I found myself back at Honolulu International Airport for my Hawaiian Airlines flight home to Maui. I was dealing with a necessary-but-annoying catheter and was worried that I would have a problem going through security.
After all, the TSA will stop you if you have a water bottle or a tube of toothpaste with more than 3.5 ounces, and here I was with a plastic bag strapped to my leg. It was out of sight under my baggy sweatpants, but it has a capacity, I would guess, of some 12-14 ounces.
I sailed through without the slightest problem.
Give you pause? Sure did me.
I’m glad you had this experience in 2009. Things have obviously changed since then. The TSA Molestation Regime has been put in place. If your surgery had happened today, you would’ve been assaulted and quite possibly injured.
Hey, Jim, welcome back! Sounds like you’re in fighting trim already!
