Been a While

It's been a while since I blogged. (Been working too hard). Thought this might be worth posting. I have been traveling to Philadelphia regularly for the last few months. I have been tagged by TSA for secondary screening the last three trips. So today, I asked the screener if there was anything that was triggering their scans (as I had been tagged the past two times, as well).

I tend to travel in a suede mid-calf skirt and boots, as it is comfortable, and allows me to have boots in Philly without having to pack them. Seems the skirt sets me apart for screening since they cannot determine what might be beneath it.

A supervisor assured me that this was not the only criteria, and that the screenings are random. I assured him I was only trying to speed up their process, and mine, by not having characteristics that mean I get singled out every week.

Needless to say, next week we are going for form fitting Blue Jeans, and no skirt. This is all pretty silly, as I am not really sure my suede skirt is a terrorist threat. But I am very happy, that a polite question on my part, has given me insight to what they are tagging in this specific airport..

Joy.
