I travel.......alot!.......I travel approximately 25 days per month.......but I'm not complaining.
To say that I thoroughly enjoy my job................is an understatement.......I truly love what I do.
As a result of so much traveling, I have become a bit of an expert......living out of a suitcase and navigating security at airports.
Obviously.........I travel internationally as well.........not often, mainly to go home twice yearly to visit family.....and the occasional business trip, but mainly my extensive traveling is done domestically in India.
If there is one thing I have noticed about India and airport security is that they are "consistent"......yes......that was sarcastic!
However, I am not going to divulge any top secret security measures in this blog........I just want to share with you one experience that tested my patience the other day.........a rather long day at that!
Let me preface this again by stating that in the past 4.5 years I have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles/kilometers both internationally and domestically. These travels have taken me through some of the toughest airport security systems throughout the world.
I have removed my shoes, my belt, my watch........I have removed all electronic items from my briefcase, I have removed my laptop from its case, and on and on.
I have been "wanded" God knows how many times and I have even been through the "controversial" body scanning units that reveal secrets that may shock "Victoria".
But in all my travels I have never been asked if my camera was "real".......
So after a long day.......and having been asked the question......I SNAPPED....literally!
I just thought I would show you what it looks like when I have reached the end of my patience!
I remain a very patient man......and I was of course very polite during my interaction with him......and I greatly appreciate them screening so thoroughly and keeping me safe in the air.........but yes, I did show him that my camera was real!
Enjoy!
