When I was coming home from the NSA convention in Rochester, my
family and I were subjected to severe harassment by the goon squad
at the Rochester airport. I was "caught" with $150 in ONE dollar
bills (wallet too fat you know). My son was "caught" with a backpack
full of 6 inch tall plastic wrestlers ('rasslers for those of you in
Dixie). We were taken into a room near the security check point and
interrogated. When I explained that the ONE dollar bills were for
waitresses, cab drivers, drink machines and exotic dancers, the goon
squad remained dubious. They searched my son's back pack full of
toys 4 times. I am glad that Jim has had better luck than I have had
with airport . I guess that 50 year old balding businessmen always
look suspicious if you are in Rochester!

P. S. They did not look at my Nikon twin rig - go figure!
