Last Saturday I was flying back from a consult on Cumberland Island, off the
coast of Georgia. One leg of the journey was a commercial flight. Security
checks were the most thurough I have experienced: shoes off, belt off, each
item in my briefcase handled and inspected, the whole routine took 23
minutes. A 1.5" sheetrock screw was confiscated from my shirtpocket. My
Vaisala Humidity & Temp. Indicator, Onset Hobo Data Shuttle, and Delmhorst
Moisture Meter (with 3" pointy probes and 3 pound slide hammer on 13"
shaft), and a dozen other items including digital camera and notebook
computer all passed through without any special notice.
