A Old But Great Video NWS

This is an old video, but if you have some free time it is worth watching. It will give ya a good laugh.

Flashlights, Sex Toys and The TSA

Here is a funny anecdote that happened at the CVG Checkpoint. It was a busy Monday morning and like many, the security line was going up the escalator and down the street. People both screeners and passenger were grumpy and in a hurry. It happened on lane 5 when the x-ray operator called for a “bag check”. She told the bag checker there was an item which she could not make out. So as normal the screener ask the passenger if this was her bag. It was a women in her thirties, her face turned bright red. The screener gave his normal speech about not touching the bag and if she had anything sharp or pointy which may cut him. She said no and the search began. The screener open the bag which was really cluttered and pulled out the offending item, a sex toy of unspeakable complexity. This thing had more functions and buttons than your T.V. Remote. Here is where it gets funny. The poor screener thought it was a flashlight and asked the passenger how to turn it on. Everyone in line were smiling and chuckling and then it happened. He switched the device on and it started going nuts. He dropped it on the table and there it was spinning vibrating and lighting up. Everyone in line broke out in laughter. The woman looked like she wanted to run for it but couldn’t. The screener finally realized what it was and turned it off. He then apologized, repacked her bag and sent her on her way. But the damage had already been done and will always be one of the funniest things to have happened at the checkpoint. So the lesson learned here is the next time you want to bring “Captain Winky” on vacation, pack it in you checked luggage.
