More fearmongering.

Me and my monkey do not see the humor.

Well, while, as usual, I don't understand the TSA, I guess that the next time I go to a Barenaked Ladies show and they sing "Haven't you always wanted a monkey," I will have to say no. Not even if I had a million dollars.

(If I had a million dollars, I'd see if I could rent a private jet.)

The leash didn't alarm, remember-- or at least the part of the leash that was being held didn't alarm.

No.

That doesn't answer my question.

The TSA "security" perverts seem to get their way by peeking at adult diapers, rubbing babies' diapered parts, and now even checking out a monkey's rump and dump up close and personal.

The TSA just gets more and more perverted.

I think I misunderstood your question . . . can you clarify what it is?

Perhaps I am being dense this am.

Gee that seems a pretty complicated procedure for folks who can't remember from day to day whether a Nexus card is valid ID or not...

Even a monkey can be trained to handle a Nexus card.

Just remember that TSA won't allow you to take even the fanciest "dijon ketchup" through the checkpoint with you, as they'll classify it as a liquid. (Not to mention that some of them will likely be having hot dogs for lunch.)

It's a good thing I'm spoken for -- I'd be forced to make you a marriage proposal after that post. ^

I'm going to try one more time. The leash can't really hide anything; there is no leash "device"-- just a leash.

Here is an example of what it looks like:

There isn't really anything that can be hidden in the leash. The dog *could* have something attached to his underside or under his vest, unlikely though that may be.

I am going to try one more time as well. Are you really sure that nothing can be hidden in a leash and/or leash device, inclusive or exclusive of the part of the leash being held by the handler that doesn't alarm the metal detectors?

With regard to at least the use of metal detectors, I wouldn't be so sure that a non-alarming leash/leash device in hand is necessarily any less capable of concealing some types of WEIs than a non-alarming diaper left on the monkey's diaper-covered area.

I feel safe, now...

I feel safe knowing that I'm not the one who will probably get bitten by the monkey.
