A: Hey, that’s really not funny!

Ya’ll, today in an international airport in a far less terror-obsessed country that has also gotten hit by al-Qaida in the past, I circumvented all those theatrical security line precautions that make you feel so safe – you know, only ticket passengers get to enter the boarding area, no knives allowed, etc. – by smiling nicely and making like I knew what I was doing.

BTW: this happens all the time. All the time. All over the world.

(i.e., taking off your shoes and letting some swaggering high-school dropout tell you to spread your legs so he can run a beeping wand up and down your inner thighs while you stand there looking like an emasculated loser isn’t doing jack to increase your security, it’s just makes you feel like They Are Doing Something.)

Sleep tight.
