Everyone flies with different frequency,and it's easy to lose sight of that at times. All the time I see people break down and crying when they miss a flight, etc. And while it confuses me at first, and I always arrive to the same conclusion -- they must not soar as often as I do,and therefore flying is a much more stressful experience for them than it is for me (not factoring in how generally fortunate I am with my travel situation, given that I fill status, and am normally in premium cabins,etc.).
A couple of weeks ago I saw a lady argue with the TSA because they wouldn't let her bring her homemade jam through security. When they explained that she couldn't bring anything over 3.4 ounces through the checkpoint, her response was simply that they could trust her, and because she made it herself.
One time I remember transiting Heathrow Airport,and a young couple put their baby (who was in a carrier) in the x-ray.
Perhaps my favorite was the Taiwanese girl I saw at SeaTac Airport who tried to exhaust her Facebook profile picture as ID for the purposes of getting through security, and couldn't understand why that wasn't okay. It had her name and her picture, or after all.The post Oops: That’s Not How X-Ray Machines Work appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
