    Security: Excuse me.

    Do you have any keys or money in your


    pockets?

    Passenger: No. No. I think I’ve taken everything out.

    Security: Okay. Go ahead and walk through the body


    scanner.

    Passenger: Will I feel anything?

    Security: No sir. Just walk through and keep your hands in


    the air.

    Passenger: Okay, huh?

    [ Security alarm goes off . . . ]

    Security: We need to do some additional screening. Sorry,


    sir. Please come this way. [What? Did I . . . Did you find
    something?] Relax sir. Okay? I’m going to open your carry-on
    bag. As I’m going through it, please do not try to touch it.
    [Okay.] Let’s see now. Hmmm. First of all, sir, you can’t take
    any liquids like this bottled water past this point.

    Passenger: Ah. Well, I really can’t drink any other kind of


    water. Sierra Springs is the only bottled water I drink.

    Security: Sorry sir. [Ah . . . ] And, sir. What’s this? [What?]


    No, sir, you cannot bring a lighter on the plane.

    Passenger: But I don’t smoke. I mean . . . [You STILL can’t


    bring it on the plane.] But I have it just in case of
    emergencies. You know, as an emergency fire starter in
    case the plane crashes into a dark forest.

    Security: Sir. You’ll have to leave that here. What’s this?

    Passenger: Well . . .Oh. That’s my pocket knife.

    Security: A pocket knife? It’s almost a foot long!


    Passenger: Well, it’s a special knife given to me by my
    grandfather, but I only use it to peel apples and fruit. You
    know . . .. Things like that.

    Security: Sir. I’m sorry, but you can’t take that on the plane.
    In fact, do you have any other prohibited items in your
    bag? [Well, I don’t . . .] I mean, didn’t you read the sign back
    there explaining all of the items that were not allowed on
    board?

    Passenger: Well, I started to read it, and I then got a


    little distracted.

    Security: A little? Sir. How many times have you flown on an


    airplane?

    Passenger: Uh, it has been a while. I think the last time I


    traveled by plane was about, uh, 1960 . . .

    Security: Sir. Why don’t you come with me? [WHAT?] I think
    my supervisor would like to ask you a few questions.

    Passenger: Oh, no!
