All these years that I've been batting 1000 on talking my way out of tickets (5 so far) and I didn't see it as a portent of incredible luck. I always figured I hypnotized them into forgetting why they stopped me. Probably why the TSA hardly ever seems to give me or my stuff more than a cursory glance, and why no one seems to care where it is I take pictures, and why eyes glaze over when I talk in meetings.
