You are a threat to national security

I was never detained or anything...but imagine you are a 11 year old girl traveling with your mom from The nearest airport to the Ohio/WV/PA borders (Pittsburgh Airport) to North Carolina. You stuff your suitcase full of pads because of well you know. You send you bag through the scanner and go through a little too fast, or so they say, to and pick up your bag to wait for your mom who's taking a little to long and you had to get up super early and your cranky because of that and PMS. Just as you are about to grab your bag a security guard grabs it before you. They take it over to the table and search through it and they only end up finding the pads and a bunch of clothes.

Seriously...when I asked them why they did that all they really said was I went through the metal detector a little to fast for their liking. I WAS 11 FREAKING YEARS OLD AND CRANKY of course I didn't want to stick around. Besides it isn't like I like to fly anyway, I wanted to get it done and over with. Needless to say I was slightly embarrassed afterwards because they had to ask me what the pads were and what they were for (This would be a male security guard). Not to mention my mom was really unhappy with the way they treated me.

I should be glad it was pre-9/11...or I could have possibly caused us to miss our plane and made to throw away the pads that I so desperately needed for the trip. Needless to say that was the next to last time we ever took a plane anywhere.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
