Busted

We were three for three going through RDU airport security today. The culprits that got our carry-ons searched and swiped:

1. E's calculator. "Oops, I forgot to take it out of my backpack," he said. "You don't need to remove calculators," I said. He clarified: "I mean, I don't need a calculator in Germany."

2. Two "coq-au-vin" handmade chicken-rattle topped bottle stoppers. OK, I can see that those might be hard to decipher by X-ray, and each chicken--well, to quote Shakespeare, "though she be but little she is fierce!"

3. An at-the-time unopened 200g bar of Swiss dark chocolate with 30% whole hazelnuts. E has been working on making sure that one doesn't get us stopped again.

Be vigilant!
