        Hmmm interesting. I guess I got lucky, it was O’Hare to Atlanta and they didn’t ask me to on the return flight either

            My favorite airport security experience was in Japan. They were doing the whole “do you have any [thing you can’t fly with] in your bag?” thing and the guy asked, with a heavy japanese accent, if I was carrying any explosives.

            After a few "carrying a what??"s from me, he pulled out a three hole binder and flipped to a sheet with a picture of a cartoon bomb. We both lost it when I pulled back and said “what the hell?? Nooo!”

            I didn’t have anything special like precheck but he let me get in the rich person line afterward. I guess I just didn’t expect to be asked so directly and casually if I was planning an act of terrorism lol
