Ugh that security check in is so annoying…’

This summer I had driven across to the border to be with my family and in a large cooler bag took five of my ice packs—when I left this this summer and drove home I forgot them.

On a recent trip where I flew for my interview, I recalled that I had forgotten it ice packs and quickly threw them in my hand luggage.

When in the security check in—I have no idea why it was placed to the side for extra examination.

He finds said ice packs and says:
If they were frozen you can keep but you can’t take these.

If the scanner could have scanned steam and aggravation—I would have been jailed. I couldn’t speak. Took my bag and walked away—because it’s so senseless and annoying—

We are wasting so much product, time and resources and yes—all to avoid a 9-11…but deep down, I find so much of it unreasonable.

All of this to say:
I felt your frustration in this article lol

Ugh—😅😖😃
