Trust me, I'm not making this up...

I flew out of IAD on Tuesday mid-PM about 1:30. As usual, the airport was empty. I walked up to the security checkpoint near the UA counters. I was the only passenger surrounded by hoards of screeners. While at the checkpoint, I smelled the strong scent of alcohol, which only could have come from one or more of the screeners. It sure wasn't me. Did anyone else have a similar experience on Tuesday???
