For me it was right after 9/11 and the National Guard was protecting the airports. In fairness nobody quite knew what the new rules should be.

But at a check point right past the WTMD, a security worker was wanding a Guard who still had the rifle in his hand. Maybe they were worried he had a knife?

It was one of those moments when you wish you had a camera!
1. Passenger that didnt speak English approached the CP with leather pants that were held up with suspenders. DRopped the pants, ran them through the x-ray and walked through the mag in his underwear.

2. Passengers that say the have a digital camera when asked if they have a laptop or VIDEO CAMCORDER in their bag.
3. Passengers in such a hurry that they try to come through the WTMD with purses or luggage.
4. Teens that smoke and their parents dont know and they set off the alarm and get wanded then have to figure out how to get rid of the cigarettes without being discovered by mom and dad.
5. Passenger that told us the he had 5 RPG's and 3 grenades in his bag when asked if he had a laptop.
