Oops

So, clearing TSA microwaving & ball-juggling this AM, seems that I missed the mini-to-micro USB adapter in one of my cargo pockets.
(This of course triggered a Major Security Alert - hence the unwarranted but oddly pleasurable nut-fondling.)
The oddity was the TSA Supervisor who took the adapter, put it in a full-sized bin and ran it through the X-Ray machine.
Really, dude?
What did you think would be concealed inside an adapter the size of a quarter?
Well, at least it wasn't confiscated.

Jeebus. The dumbassery, it hurtz.

WHAT??! Just for fun, here's an inventory of everything I carry in my bag when travelling:BB charger, Apple charger, Bluetooth earpiece charger, macro usb cable, micro usb cable, grenade, Ethernet cable, 2 memory sticks, short usb plug, ps/2 to usb adapter (don't know why I still carry that one), Fenix L2D flashlight, spare AA batteries, umbrella. Worst I ever got was a "rewind" on the conveyor belt to a take a closer look.

LOL, who 'knows' what you might have concealed in there! :-)

mini-to-micro USB adapters are the second leading cause of death in my area, right after jello drownings

Someone needs to invent something like that so when it's x-rayed an image of General Zod and his minions screaming from inside the Phantom Zone plate of glass thingie from Superman II shows up on the TSA screen.
