Technical point – the US Border Patrol can stop and inspect you anywhere up to 100 miles inland from a US border. Be safe Citizen. https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone
Way pre-Sept. 11, I drove an ex-girlfriend to the airport. She had a rabbit vibrator in her carry on. The English-as-a-second-language woman running the X-ray wanted to see what the thing on the display was. She couldn’t figure out what it was, but decided that it wasn’t going to blow up, and waved us through.
About twenty minutes later, she walked up behind Tammy in the waiting area, tapped her on the shoulder, and said in a definitely not sotto voce, “I find out what it is. It a dildo.”

Doesn’t TSA police Amtrak passenger boarding too?

This is why I prefer to walk.

A most satisfying way to get her out of my life.

Ask me why I’ve lost all interest in fly in the last 20 years. This is just one of them…

Dear God! Were they that bed, even before TSA? Hey Opus, “Just say no” to Amtrak as well.

I am by nature pretty much a stay-at-home kind of guy. But sometimes I need to fly. I hate it for all the hassle that is now involved….
