Lol! You should have...the slow clap that gains momentum and speed ;)
Actually, I would prefer everything about that flight over boarding a plane in the U.S. these days. A few years back my parents got stopped by a man who left terse in the dust and went straight to complete Dickhead asshole- scolding my mom for the nailpolish in her purse as he confiscated it and performing a search on my DAD who is in a WHEECHAIR. Excellent job homeland security, you have likely stopped the plane from being hijacked!
Sorry, your post brought back that memory which makes me mad everytime I think about it Lol!
The security is a bit nuts these days. On the way out the guy gave us into trouble for our Daughter not looking like her passport pic. In Britain the kids passport does them till they are five. Si given that we got hers when she was a baby she is bound to look a bit different now!
Thats madness though. You think they would apply some common sense to it all
