My sister in law came to new York, she complained she couldn’t get good olives in Kansas where she lives. I decided to bring her really nice olives from murrays cheese in NYC for her Christmas stocking. The airport took them. I’m sure they enjoyed them.

A couple of years ago, I was coming back to Canada from visiting my girlfriend in Houston. She had bought me some, um, equipment from Babeland for my birthday that I was bringing with me in my carry- on bag. Imagine my discomfort when my bag was removed from the X-ray conveyor belt at the Houston airport, at which time the male security person asked to whom it belonged (hope I got the grammar correct, there, Kate). I sheepishly went up to watch him rummage through the offending bag. To my relief, he stopped his search at a bottle of Neutrogena acne cleanser that I was bringing home for my daughter, since you can’t get it in Canada. It exceeded the limit for liquids in containers, but the guy was really nice and said he would classify it as medication and let it through. If they had seen anything else in the x-ray, no-one mentioned it, thankfully.

I’ve never had anything confiscated, but the danged TSA were constantly opening and examining my checked luggage (they always left a polite note). It puzzled me for some time why they were always picking on me and not my partner’s luggage. It then occured to me that it was my box of golf balls that made them suspicious. (Is there a type of bomb that looks like a box of golf balls?). I always brought my own golf balls because to buy them at a golf course costs about three times more. Once I stopped packing golf balls in my luggage, the TSA stopped opening it. Now I just make do with what’s in my golf bag.

Hot sauce.

Bananas – and it wasn’t at the hands of the airport TSA. It was the border guards at the Canadian border near Niagara Falls. We purchased the offending fruit at the local Ontario A&P. My lovely partner nearly got “detained” until I side-mouthed snarled “Shut up, please” while I smiled at the uber-militarized guard. She couldn’t resist yelling back out the window as we drove away “Hope you choke on ’em”. OY!
P.S. Love you long time!

I had a 4$ can of moose from a hotel, mango lotion, and nair in my back. I opted to pay to check my bag instead of have them get thrown out but instead of checking my bag again I ended up leaving them with my friend in San Francisco… Well, guess I’ve gotta go back!
