While returning from a class one day this past week, and munching a green apple, I was stopped by a complete stranger and asked for my backpack. Since he happened to have a 9mm Glock, a badge, and a digital camo uniform I did not argue. The rules say I can be stopped at any time and have to submit to a searched as part of my job. My backpack was thoroughly searched for anything on the prohibited items list. Just one of the many freedoms me and my co-workers give up to help keep the U.S. safe.

Wow. I’m not sure how to feel about this.

I can tell you that it is definitely a different experience. I heard the guard say to the guy before me, “you are okay, this next gentleman is who I want to talk too”. I did not know if I should point out the missed pocket with the legal drugs that would have peaked his interest.

Must have been the look on your face! How did he know the guy in front of you was okay? He looked more innocent than you? LOL

Either that or the green apple. The guy in front of me did not have a backpack. This is the second time I have been stopped.

I’d be so shocked… Was it at night time?

It was actually lunch time.

Oh! My stomach would have flip flopped if I’d heard that, even if I knew I wasn’t carrying anything on that list. That’s why I’m not a fan of flying either.
(You must have looked too casual munching on that apple.)
By the way, Thanks!

I’m not a fan of flying these days either. At least I was not required to empty my pocket, remove my belt, and take off my shoes! The apple was very delicious.
