I hate flying. Since I retired ten years ago, I drive most every chance I can to avoid the airport hassles.
I had to make a cross country trip so reluctantly I booked my ticket, packed and went to the airport. Having read all the horror stories of the TSA, I was more than a bit nervous.
Went to check my luggage and the lady said my bag weighed too much and I had to pay an additional fee. I reached in my pocket, got my wallet out to begrudgingly pay the fee when the clerk said.
"Strip down, facing me."
Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.
TSA security was a breeze after that although I am sure that I am on some list.
They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer!
