I discussed that sort of thing in connection with a T-shirt, some time ago.<br /><br />On the other hand - you'd think that the TSA's folks would be particularly careful to hustle an annoying-but-harmless passenger through the system: instead of getting more publicity as the 'grope or pay' agency.Brian H.

Not sure it would be exactly suspicious in a 'possible terrorist' sort of way, but it sure would be unusual and if I were a security officer there I might want to have a few extra words with her just to be safe.<br /><br />Also, I don't see anything indicating how much she weighed.

Including things you normally associate with couch cushions.<br /><br />Just playing devil's advocate here.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.com
