Security Checks

At the airport! At the mall! :S
Lost my face scrub at Amsterdam airport coz it was bigger than the allowed limit. Had to go through a secondary security check at Newark coz I happened to be wearing a belt that went beep beep when I went through that check thingy. They opened my hand baggage and actually took swabs for testing. Sheesh! That was embaressing and also learnt a lesson there!
Got stopped again at WalMart when the security gate went bersek again as I passed through it with a bunch of stuff in the shopping cart. The culprit turned out to be the Card Reader/Writer that I had bought from Circuit City. Took some time to convince the girl that I had not stolen anything.
Hmmm....security checks! What a bother!

Welcome to the states. ;)

I remember the thing going crazy when I forgot my cell phone in my pocket while clearing sirport security. And it doesnt help when you are brown and havent shaven for 2 days after the long WE ;)

At Walmart they just implied to say that 'henceforth' buy a Card Reader (or any electronics) from them and not from "Circuit City" or "Best Buy" :P

@Rajesh - lol! Yea! I can imagine how that would have been like at the airport. I also felt weird.
