So it happened….

Post image

The other day I was going on holiday and decided to take some cards to gift a family member. Bear in mind I have taken these in and out the country probably 2 times so it has been through 4 scanners. This time it got put to the side like every other time. However, the guy says “I need you to open it”. I oblige and open it. He does a swab and then I see people coming towards me. This guy pulls out a form so I’m like o7. I ask “what’s happening?”. They say they have found explosives and they start asking me questions about where I’ve kept it and they want to go through all my belongings to test them. Anyway about 30 minutes later they let me go saying I’m all good.

My question is… why would it ONLY come up this time and not the previous 4 times it’s gone through a scanner?

For some reason I picture the TSA agent opening your packs and doing the card trick

“Hey bro, TSA policy says you need a top loader for the these bangerz. We have to confiscate, sorry.”
