it was maddening. seriously, I feel that they could have done anything to us and NO ONE would have stepped up or said anything and you know nothing would have been said about it in the news. Very skeery feeling.

The bag in question: Had mostly the books and games we bought in Boston. "Arabian Nights"... :) As well as a card game called "Weed" for the friend watching our furry family. Imagine my horror when the guard or whatever they are - pulled out a box of cards with marijuan plants painted on it! ACK!  

I had no clue what or why that bag beeped.

Later on my husband told me that going - we put the umbrella he takes to work in the checked. Flying on our return we had it on carryon as it was raining.

My husband works with powerders for detonation. Reason he has two work laptops -one for work - one for travel. None of his work clothes or shoes can go on a place due them being detectable traces.

The umbrella must've had some dust on it.

But... they never found out the cause and the umbrella (although SAFE) went onboard.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendrix

The Bushco fascists, really really want us to be afraid, because fear is their ally. It is scary that these people who scan our luggage, check our persons and generally are supposed to protect us, have little or no training.  Their supervisors have had little or no training and the Reichministry of Homeland Non Defense, just keeps wasting money like there is a money tree.  Of course most of the money is finding its way into the pockets of Bushco's Corporate masters for providing nothing in return.  I am still appalled that the Repugs told us back in 1994, that they would change welfare as we know it. They did, it became a Corporate welfare system, that eats up 50 times the money that the old welfare system did, that used to help human beings.  My two Senators are both reichstag members, Brownshirt is a Theocrat, Roberts is Fascist, Brownshirt wants the churches to be able to politicize without losing their tax exempt status. Roberts want to strengthen the Patriot act by allowing the FBI and other Law enforcement agencies to conduct searches without benefit of a warrant from any court or grand jury.  Now that is scary. With the advent of the new National ID, "real ID", I forsee it won't be long before you have to clear your travel plans with the government.
