something else that happened to me these past 7 days:

- I was stopped at airport security for allegedly carrying snakes in my tote bag.

- Then screened for explosives.

Hmmm, odd, since you don't really have a face that exactly screams trouble! and who exactly would carry snakes, let alone A snake in their tote?

no idea. I did look like death though, after spending a sleepless night on the floor of a closed airport after spending an evening crushed to death in a mosh pit after spending a day sitting on the cold concrete after having two hours sleep at a friend's place in melbourne after spending an evening in a mosh pit and a day on a cold concrete step. WHEW.

You think you know someone, huh?

I will be the first to say that enough is enough. I am sick and tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane tote bag.

Not just motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane ... exploding motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane!

Yay you win the prize for being the first person to comment with a SOAP reference! Hahaha no seriously afterwards it was the funniest thing ever.

I think it's awesomely funny they thought you were bringing SNAKES ON A PLANE. But not awesomely funny they were so stupid as to think you were bringing SNAKES ON A PLANE.

Screened for explosives? Did they think you'd stuffed the snakes with C4, too, or something?

The explosives bit was a random check, but the random check guy would have seen me come through the screening bit. SO IT WASN'T RANDOM AT ALL.

I think it's funny they think I would have had snakes in an open tote bag. :(

I came home and my mum was like, "I bet you tore up the town and had a wild time huh?"

Me: 'errrrr...'

HAHAHAHAHAHAH did you tell her the truth?

[identity profile] luciusmalfoy.livejournal.com 2007-08-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
...so you were bringing snakes on a plane?

aw shit, WAY too late to be the first person to make the obvious call.

[identity profile] wickedcherub.livejournal.com 2007-08-12 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Haha it's okay. Just another thing on the best/worst 48 hours of my life.

Damn, everybody beat me to the Snakes on a Plane reference!

I guess they can't be too careful, after this jackass smuggled a monkey (http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/08/america/NA-ODD-Monkey-on-a-Plane.php) on a plane.

I'm just imagining the conversation between the security agents.
"No, sir, there were no snakes."
"Really... no snakes... well, what else could it have been?"
"A bomb?"

I feel terrible for you, but I'm still laughing. How ridiculous.

Nah, the security guys thought it was pretty funny too.

Did they say how/why they thought you had SNAKES, of all things?

[identity profile] wickedcherub.livejournal.com 2007-08-12 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh you know the part of the airport where you go through the metal detector then stick your handluggage on the conveyor and they look at an x-ray type thing of your hand luggage?

Well, they made me put my tote bag through a couple of times, then called in the head of security who told them to let it go. I asked them what they thought I had, and they said 'we all think it looks like you have snakes in your bag'.

I still can't think of what it could be, except for maybe [livejournal.com profile] o_chan's belt that was in the bag.

All movie references aside, WHY on EARTH did they think you had snakes??
