TSA screened my wet O' gear
Traveling home from Maine I had three dirty O' suits. I'd run three races and while the clothes from the first two events were dry, they weren't clean. The clothes from the relay were still wet when I packed my bag. All of the dirty O' clothing was packed in plastic bags.
I also had my headlamp in my bag.
When I checked my bag I wondered if the headlamp would look suspicious when they used the x-ray to screen the bag before loading it on the plane. If it looked suspicious the TSA would probably open the bag to check it out. And if they opened the bag, they'd get a blast of marsh-wet O' clothing. Yuck.
Sure enough, some TSA employee in Portland, Maine, had the job of inspecting my bag full of stinky O' clothing. When I got home and opened my bag I found a note from the TSA telling me they'd screened my bag. I feel sorry for the poor slob who had that job.
