Wonderful security

Well this is just fucking great. Yes mam I’ll put my 6x3 book through the X-ray machine. Yes mam this HUGE bag of water that you see is nothing more than water so great you mean I DON’T have to put it through the machine? Yes 'em that makes sence.

This is what happened to me today. I work for the gov and of course we have tighter security which isn’t a problem. The damned problem is that I come in this morning with nothing more than a paperback book in my hand. I come through the gate then get this wonderful look and a “Excuse me sir but you have to put that book through the X-ray machine, please step back through the gate and put the book in the machine.” Ok what the fuck could I possibly have inside of a book that could be a threat?

Now I’ve just come back from lunch and buying bottled water. I’ve got two bags full of water, I figure that they’ll make me put it in the machine. I walk through the gates towards the same woman, she starts to say something about the machine THEN changes her mind and says “oh that’s just water it’s fine.” Huh?!?!? yeah how the fuck do you know that it’s not full of gas or some other explosive? You didn’t even bother to fucking open the damn bag and really check.

I think I’ll go home now, I don’t fell secure at all around here now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try and bring my nuke to work, I’ll be sure to write “Nuke” on the side so you know what it is security. :rolleyes:

Well, ok, I suppose in theory you could hide a weapon in a hollowed out book…though I’d think they could just riffle through it to confirm it’s really a book. But, yeah, just letting you go through with a bag of bottled water is pretty stupid if they are concerned about security.

Piece of advice, though–do NOT try to fuck with their minds by taking something labled “nuke” or “bomb” or something in. I doubt they have any sense of humor–most incompetents don’t.
