First confiscation


Sandy here...

Well, well...... We haven't even left for the airport and I took a look at Jim's little black bag (home of toothpaste, etc.), and this is what I found inside!!!! Jim's little black bag was in his carry on... Hmmmm, what do you think the security guys are gonna think when they put their gloved hands in there to check it out and find a needle big enough to exsanguinate someone! (yeah, I know the xray guy would see it, BUT......)
And lots of other needles. And pins. You never know when you're gonna need lots and lots of needles and pins...
Sharp-ended tweezers will also go over well, I think.... So, I confiscated them.
You always need a couple of spoons. And a sharp can opener thing, and a disposable razor.

later in the afternoon, Jim wanted to take his Swiss Army knife. In his pocket. Oh boy... So that was also nixed.
Earlier this evening, I saw his deflated basketball in the suitcase and just had to ask where the inflation needle was... Yep, his pocket, in his wallet. 
I'm tired just keeping an eye on him. Just in case, I'm making him take his carry on, and I'm gonna act like I don't know him.... whaddya think?




Here's Jim:

Can't wait to see the surfing and snorkeling pics! You might as well go naked to the airport as they basically make you take off all your clothes anyway. And don't forget your quart zip-loc bag......
Are you going to have anytime the day you get home to hang in Portland? Love to see ya!

Ha! Yay for your blog! This cracked me up...

Nice try keeping Mr. Gail in line, Sandra Gail...I wish you the best of luck, and I'm totally in support of your plan to deny all knowledge of him while going through airport security.

Mr. Gail, spoons in your toiletries? Really?
