More Airport Blogging!

I got back to Detroit in time to have a nice visit with Rosemary Esmay and Draco - well, he doesn't really talk yet, but he has a very nice gurgle.

I took the scenic route down 23 from Alpena - got a couple of what I hope are great pictures of sunrise over Lake Huron.

I kinda missed one turn and it took me about 40 minutes longer to get to the Esmay's house than it should have - but at least I found them!

For the first time ever, the alarm went off when I walked through the metal detector here in Detroit. I wore exactly the same thing that I wore when I walked through the Kansas City metal detector on Sunday.

This tells me that the sensitivity for the Detroit metal detector is set to pick up anything metal at all - I'm guessing that with the large foreign population here, it is perhaps a riskier place.

It was my underwire bra - now, I expect it to beep when I get picked for special wanding, but it has never caused a beep when going through any metal detector anywhere I have flown - and that is a whole lot of airports!

The young lady who searched me was very nice, a bit embarrassed and quite apologetic and kind. I appreciate that kind of attitude - it is all too rare among the TSA.
