Unhappy I must remove my jewelry?
I have traveled over a half a million miles, and hundreds of flights, since 911 and thought I had seen it all, but on our last trip to ORD, I was totally surprised when I was told that I must remove all of my jewelry. Since I always wear exactly the same jewelry, day-to-day, and have never set off an alarm, I just refused to do so. There is no way on the face of this earth that I am going to let my jewelry out of my sight, even to go through security. What was she thinking?

The TSA agent got into a huff, but I went through and set off no alarms, which made her even huffier. Do they lie awake thinking up ways to annoy us?
