Last time I went to Washington DC, the fellow traveling with me (67 years old, 140 pounds, Irish, conservative accountant-type looks, charcoal gray suit) got detained at every single point possible. Perhaps the least likely terrorist if we are counting looks.

So the fellow goes though the magic wand thing and didn't get any pings. Twice and began a third pass and I said "it's my ears!" He looked and put the wand to each side of my head and yep it was the ears.... Then he says, " take them off and walk through without them!" :-) OK and they put them through the scanner, I walked through clean and they returned my ears! Aaaahh security love it. ;-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
