Security Recap

A few days ago I wrote about taking bagpipes through airport security, and as promised I'm reporting in with the results from this weekend.  The first time I went through security was at the Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Portland, Maine, and the screener called her supervisor over for a bag check.  The supervisor looked at the screen for a minute and said "Bagpipes?"  Turns out he was a firefighter for 30 years and has heard his fair share of pipes.

The return trip through BWI was far less eventful.  I don't think there were any confused looks, but I was preoccupied with the change in my pocket that set off the metal detector so I didn't really get a chance to look at faces.  By the way, I've gone through security before with change in my pocket and it didn't do anything.  Guess it just wasn't my day.
