19 Pelican rifle cases, 12 Pelican Storm Cases, 40 MC70s, 35 Geo batteries, 30 laser trigger batteries, 27 walkie-talkies, and a cartridge in a bare tree...
Guess what happens when a Richmond County Sheriff's Deputy sees stacks of rifle cases and rocket launcher cases (his words) through a window during a routine sweep...
It's not quite the same reaction as when the DOT Agricultural agent looks in the back of the truck during an Agricultural inspection station check as I drove the equipment up here...
About a mile short of the FL/GA state line I stop at the inspection station and get waved over for a visual inspection.
I unlock the cargo door, letting it roll up as the inspector looks inside.
"Uh, Sir... Could you step over here while we inspect your cargo a little more thoroughly. Please keep your hands where we can see them..."
Nervous DOT AgAgent: "So... Uh... What's in the cases?"
Yours Truly: "Lasers."
NDOTAA is not amused by my honesty.
NDOTAA: "Cletus, keep an eye on Mr Funnyman there while we open a couple of these babies up."
After opening a random assortment of cases and trying to puzzle out the Laser Atlanta rangefinders and Trimble Geodimeters, he returns to Cletus and I as we are discussing kudzu and crown vetch.
NDOTAA comes back over.
"Okay- yer good to go. You know I had to check it out... Doin' my part for homeland security."
YT:"Yeah, whatever."
Contrast to here in Augusta...
Sheriff's Deputy: "That ain't nothin' dangerous is it?"
YT: "Nope."
SD: "Okay, just checking."
