Sitting here waiting to board my flight to Amsterdam, and they're still calling "Osama" and "Mohammed" to the desk for "documentation".
When I was asked in Saskatoon if I had anything in my pockets, I replied "just gum". The security screener guy said "You'll have to take that out.".
Odd, I thought, but I pulled it out and showed it to him.
"Oh", he said. "That's fine".
I looked at him for a second.
"I said 'Gum'. With an 'M'" ....











;) Hilarious. In a non-mohammad sort of way.
Now you'll be delayed while they unload all their luggage...
Kidding...
Record it that's hilarious.
Should be broadcast everywhere.
Oh oh...
No deer season in Amsterdam eh?
Safe journey, though I'm thinking "Why the hell would you go to Amsterdam when you could be in Delisle?"
Have you looked at the weather here the last couple of days, SDH?
Thank God they're grilling candy-carrying passengers at the airports. We wouldn't want gum to get in the way of a good hijacking from the undocumented "Osama" and "Mohammed".

Yep. Zombie hordes couldn't get me on that plane.
Gum with an "M".
As in Mohammed. Or Moron.

kate...that's hillarious! Was that a set-up?
Tell us about the look on his face.
Is that gum in your pocket...

Ba-dump tsh!

I always wondered who the fella' was that scrawled on the condum dispensor in the men's restroom,
"This gum tastes like rubber."
Actually, if Kate boarded with a gun in her pocket, nobody would have to worry about Osama or Mohammed...
And we could all travel easier.
Hmmm...?
Some things never change.
As a teenager, a buddy of mine and I travelled from Montreal to the Plattsburg NY area, hoping to connect with a couple of American chicks (sorry Kate for the sexist pejorative). The US customs officer asked if we had anything to declare, and I said just our "gear" on the rear of the bike, referring to a couple of knapsacks that contained our clothing. He said fine and we went on our way.
A couple of miles down the road a police car stopped our motorcycle, the deputy got out and pointed a shotgun towards us (which really freaked me out) and demanded to know where the "beer" was.
Suitable explanations occurred, and no harm was done. But I'll never forget the experience of looking down the barrel of that 12 guage...
Yup they'll feel up four year olds and rape grandmas but they refuse to profile the terrorists. It's all for show. Even a muzzie could figure out how to defeat their "security" system.
Hmmm
Wait till you have to negotiate Shiphol security. especially transferring from international to internal(eu) flights. Been a few missed flights over the years, truly a place to observe diversity.
arh spellcheck
Schiphol not shiphol
Just landed, last stop Copenhagen.
Used to be gate B which meant negotiating internal security outside D and the main concourse, if its still the same don't dawdle.
But do enjoy
I love Amsterdam. And if you have to be stuck at an airport, there are far worse places to be stuck at than Schiphol.
Yeah well, I have avoided commercial air since 911.
The old boy net still provides transport to just about anywhere...maybe a bit noisy and rough, sometimes, but ya get there without getting hastled by civil servants.
Wow, Kate, you're lucky they let you on the plane: even an explanation's sometimes seen as "subversive".
I hope you're on holiday: you deserve it. Whatever it is, enjoy yourself!
Is it Amsterdam or Copenhagen where all the drugs are legal ?
,
Any food products?
Just some pop.
Pardon me?
Soda.
American border guards are complete A-holes. They must take the same etiquette course as Mounties.
Had the same thing happen to me. It wasn't bad hearing, it was the wrapping. Gum that is wrapped in foil sets off the metal detector, gum that is wrapped in paper doesn't.
