Intrepid Your story is hilarious!
poboy Yours isn't. If it's any consolation, I am a white guy (and an obvious native American English speaker) and I too have gotten the rude inspection post 9/11. If someone treated me so shabbily during hockey I would proceed to beat the crap out of them, however, I have exercised restraint at the airport
so far. Congratulations on not letting them get the best of you in the end and BTW
