Bag inspected TWICE at airport because of my cards

[BBCgalaxee]

On my way to the national and not only did the tsa agent pull me on the side to inspect my bags (and x Ray it again), but they even separated the boxes of cards and re scanned them.

It doesn't bother me at all but it happened to me a few years ago coming back from a national.

So I asked her if the cards have anything to do with it and surprisingly, she said yes.

Apparently, the shine that some cards emit throws up a flag to the screener.

You may have a new variation - glow in the dark cards.

What about the foil, chrome, refractors and magnets in the one touch holders, could those be the items setting off the red alerts?

I wouldn't be at all surprised that the scanner is showing an odd image when a stack of BGS slabs are run through it.

9 times out of 10 it's an electric razor, but every once in a while...

X-Ray-Fractor?

I was told that those light-up shoes kids wear get checked a lot too--you never know what people will try next, the guy who tried to light his shoe for example

Probably looking for illegal drugs. Did you have any ARod or Braun cards?

Chrome is king!

Dufex is on the government's watch list.

It would of been funny if the TSA agent was a card collector and said they needed to bust the boxes open to inspect them LOL

Box break at the airport!

That would be great! Would've asked if she is a FCB member

Kind of weird that I only had two small boxes of cards, my bag was inspected.

Yet on my way home, the same luggage is filled with hundreds of cards and thankfully, it wasn't inspected.

But.....

My flight is delayed so far for two hours because, get this, THERE'S NO PILOT!!!!

Isn't the first thing taught in "airplane 101" that a pilot is needed to fly?
