And at that, you're giving them the benefit of the doubt.

For a good 5 minutes.
Not just skimming the pages- READING word for word, page after page.

That still irks me to this day.

For the record, my travel journal does not have sketches of municipal plans, schematics or any red flag words such as WMD, Bomb, Gun, Allah, etc.

I note the date, city and good restaurants, eateries, hotels, shops, and museums I liked and/or would like to check out as well as notes on the weather, architecture, and cool or weird historical factoids and references to my digital camera for any photos I may have taken.
A TSO will appear to defend this practice in 3...2...1...
