fight against terrorism #2
on a comedy and terrorism related theme, i went to a very high security government building for a meeting this morning. i put all my valuables (camera, pedometer etc) in my bag before i arrived so they could all go throught the x-ray machine.

the man loaded my bag on to the conveyor belt, turned and looked at me, then turned back, pressed a button and ...
... my bag fell on the floor from a great height and landed upsway down with a massive thump.
we both looked at it for a while. obviously no bomb had gone off. i wondered if this was part of their new testing procedure.
he waited a few moments then put it back on the conveyor belt. this time it went forward. not a word was said throughout this unfortunate incident.
i chuckled later (when i was outside the building away from the armed policemen).
you should have put your hands over your ears and winced in anticipation of a loud noise!
or dived on the floor. perhaps if the man with the submachine fun wasn't looking at me i may have considered that comedy move.
Did it break anything?!?
only my heart.
luckily i decided at the last minute not to take my laptop - and most importantly - my camera still works !
