I so hope this is a hint. If so, I'm lol'ing hard.
OK, here's the deal.
A connected somebody in the know says it won't matter now, so I'll just say it...(since apparently no official representative is going to hunt me down).
I flew a really quick trip to my dad's and back, just for Thanksgiving.
Among the father/daughter time we had, we went shooting.
It's the first time he had the Armalite M15 out to shoot and I showed him how to change the elevation of the A2 front sight by using the nose of a round to push in the pin that lets you lower/raise the post. I put that round in my pocket, intending to top the mag off and send it at the berm. I promptly forgot.
Since I don't travel like the Howells, when I got to the check point all my stuff was either in my carry-on bag or my pockets.
We were the first folks there and it wasn't busy. I sent the bag through the conveyor belt and walked through the metal detector.
It beeped. I realized my iPhone was in my back pocket, so I backed up through, stuck it in the dish that sends it through, and walked through the detector a second time. It didn't beep. I picked up my bag, shoes, phone, jacket...and one of the 6 or so TSA people behind the belt monitoring the screens said "Have a nice flight".
When I got home, I dumped our "trip laundry" in the washer. When I took stuff out, I thought I heard money in the basin...like a quarter rolling around or something.
Nerp.
