bone in sub

i was reading some stuff about airport security, and saw something about the SSSS markings on boarding passes. i remember hearing about this before (it means you get a more serious search) so i looked at my boarding pass from saturday’s flight – yes, i was marked for extra screening. this has happened before, and i had to empty my backpack and have it swabbed for residue, and then i go into a chamber where air is blown all over my clothes checking for explosives or whatever.

the weird part is that this time, i was flying at 10am on a saturday morning, there was nobody in line at the security checkpoint i was using – the tsa agents were in no rush at all – and i didn’t get screened! x-ray and metal detector only.
