Headband Bomber

Did I ever tell ya'll about the time TSA 

thought my headband was a threat to national security?

I had just bought one of those stretchy cotton headbands from H&M 

and was so excited to wear it, since it wasn't too tight on my head

and therefore, wouldn't give me a headache.

I thought, "this headband will be great to travel in because it's so comfortable."

Little did I know, TSA would disagree.

I had taken my belt and shoes off and was ready to walk through the metal detectors 

when I noticed the Security Guard motioning towards my head.  

I gave her a dumb look and quickly took off my headband

(even though you could clearly see it was cotton and contained NO metal).

I placed it in my plastic tub and walked through the detector. 

Much to my surprise, when I looked for my headband in the tub,

it wasn't there!

I looked around on the floor and couldn't find it, 

so I asked one of the workers to look for it on the floor, under the metal detector.

He GLANCED over towards the machine and said

"I don't see it."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I just paid 4 bucks for that headband and because 

ya'll thought it was a threat to national security,

I had to take it off, therefore losing it in the freakin metal detector?

While I'm happy they go to such extremes to protect us,
they are going a little overboard with their stupid rules.

Needless to say, I was irate...

I pouted about it all day.

You have no idea how badly I wanted to send an angry email to that Airline...

Until next time,
