speaking of which...
i get pulled over by the TSA screeners every time I fly for extra special treatment.
it seems I fit "the profile" of a terrorist (male in '30's, seemingly militant about many things, non-muslim)
even funnier when I'm lugging fishing gear with me when I fly. should see the looks on their faces when they see all those sharp treble hooks on plugs.
one time i packed a vs 250 reel with me and they wouldn't let me carry it with me. too much metal and they were suspicious of the grease in the housing. they x-rayed it twice and told me it could be used as a blunt force weapon. so it went into the checked baggage.
i told them they better check my head too. it is very hard after all.
