Where books become\u00a0bombs<\/em><\/p>\n

Seattle International Airport<\/a>\u2014Just spent 20 minutes being physically searched at Seattle<\/a> airport, body searched, and at one point being spoken to and surrounded by seven\u200a\u2014 yes seven\u200a\u2014 TSA<\/a> agents while being informed my backpack had bomb making materials in it. A few thoughts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My bag was flagged at the X-ray machine because I had too many books in my bag.<\/li>\n
  2. Then the chemical testing machine told them that there were bomb making materials in my bag. Remember, they were only looking because I had \u201ctoo many\u201d books<\/li>\n
  3. Then a second machine told them that my 2014 model MacBook Pro<\/a> had extra bomb making materials on it.<\/li>\n
  4. They checked my hair, my breasts, and between my legs.<\/li>\n
  5. Then they told me they would have to do it again…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
