Transportation Security Agency-TSA
A family of five planned a trip out west to visit the Grand Canyon. But as usual, they had to go through security check points before boarding the plane. The first uniformed agent asked for their boarding pass, the next asked for their I.D. Then they had to empty their pockets in a bowl and put their shoes in a box.
The purses and carry-on bags went through a scanner. The x-ray discovered a forbidden object in the lady’s purse. It was the pocket knife that her dad had given her as a gift. She had to suppress the emotional attachment and let it go.
The final test was to pass through a body scanner gadget, and security did what they called a body pat down which seemed somewhat unorthodox. The family finally passed all tests.
After a week in the heart of Arizona and tours of the Grand Canyon, the painted-desert, and visiting the Apache reservation, they were ready to return to green country. Coming from Arizona all the land east of the Mississippi is known as Green Country.
