I asked her to let me go where it was, and I was told I had to stay right where I was, I was a security threat. When I asked her to bring it back and inspect it in front of me, she said it would be back soon enough. I didn't get to push the issue much further, as it did come back fairly quickly -- they were rerunning it through the xray machine.

Still, I don't like my personal items disappearing from my sight. If they have to go, I want written documentation of what was taken and by whom. Too easy for stuff to go missing.
