Posts have been and probably will be sparse for the next few days as I have been crazy busy and will be traveling until Wednesday.
Today is my first business trip with the Chrome Backbone (review coming soon) I bought for bike commuting. Well I forgot to empty it of bike equipment before heading through the security line at Washington National Airport. The x-ray guy paused for quite some time before calling for a bag check...gulp...I realized I had a Co2 canister and multi-tool.
They let me keep the multi-tool, but determined that the carbon dioxide was a hazmat. I asked if I could keep the dispensing unit and she could take the Co2 canister. She said that the hazardous material had already been dispensed through the unit therefore the unit was hazardous as well. I didn't think it was wise to remind her that our mouth's also dispense that same hazardous material. Oh well...at least they noticed something.
Plane's leaving...gotta go...
