Detroit Friday 28 July, Smith Terminal, 7 pm. Walk through wicket w/hands in pocket. No alarm. Female insists I walk through again w/o hands in pockets. Now alarm, so have to go through full wanding.
Hands in pockets not SOP, huh?

the TSA pointed down as if at my shoe and the detector went off. I'd be willing to bet he actually brushed the side.
