Homeland Security

When I got to the terminal at the Burbank Airport on Monday, I sat down with a cup of tea I had bought and called my mom. While I was on the phone, there was an announcement on the PA telling all passengers in the terminal that everyone had to leave the airport and be re-screened. So everyone filed out in a long line. I was glad I had checked my bag so I could carry my tea and drink it.

Once you leave the airport you can’t bring your drink back in with you even if you did buy it there. And with a few hundred people going through the security gate I was glad to have my tea while I was waiting in line. I had never been evacuated to be re-screened before so it was kind of cool to experience that. I like doing new things. It makes things interesting when something unexpected shows up.

Someone said that someone had walked through the wrong door. Someone else said that one of the scanners wasn’t working right when some people had gone through and that’s why everyone was brought out to be re-screened. I still find it amusing to put my lip glosses in a clear plastic bag in order to go through the gate. I always wear slip on shoes when I travel now because it takes less time. Thank you homeland security.

Blessings!Laura
