Army coming home(TSA story on FB)

[454SSguy]

Same story on both my prior deployments, and I don't expect any different when I come home from this one. They make us go through customs with our Classified cases and ask us "whats in the case", to which we reply " we can't tell you", then they say "open it", and we say "no". Then they say, "How do we know your not smuggling in something", and we say "You don't, so searching us is kinda pointless isn't it". Some of them are not so bright, and all any of us wanna do is go see our family, who is usually waiting within eyesight that we haven't seen in months, sometimes a year. The last thing we care about is you looking for drugs/alcohol that none of us have or care about having.

Spent fifteen minutes with a pair of tweezers pulling some errant grass seeds from my chest rig going through customs. They were so hung up on the grass seed crossing the border but failed to pick up on the clip of 9mm that went through x -ray. Then got hassled over the positive explo swab. Just rolled my eyes at him. Took some explaining that I had been carrying this stuff around for six months round the clock and it was highly likely it would be present. Sigh......
