Airport Security
After the usual security of scanning the carry-ons and going thru the metal detectors, Brisbane airport had another check right before entering the gate. They were patting people down.
Me: Do I need to empty my pockets?
Security Guy: No, I'll let you know if I feel what I'm looking for.
Me: I don't have any drugs.
Security Guy: You can take all the drugs you want, mate. I'm not a customs agent. That's not what I'm looking for.
I still have no idea what they were looking for. What else is there to check?
But it was definitely refreshing to hear from a uniformed agent right before boarding a plane that I could take all the drugs I want....Is that so? hmm. I'll be right back.
