What? No disrobing?

In the Portland International Airport on our way to the Big Apple, Keri and I experienced the first ever no hassle security. We really couldn't believe it. We were to fly out American which is out of concourse C and while I was searching for my driver's license Keri was paying attention to the security announcements. All of a sudden she asks me, Do you wanna try that? I was totally distracted and a tad bit panicked because for a split second I couldn't find my driver's license.

I thought, Oh shit!!! Where's my license? She asked me before we left if I had it and I said yes. Crap! I didn't even check. I just said yes, where is, Oh here it is. Whew. What? Try what? Oh,... The security people said we can go to the other end of the airport to access concourse C and it would be quicker and easier. OK, I'm open.

So, we did a 180 and headed the opposite direction. Who would think going the wrong direction would be so much faster? Not me, but it worked. Maybe because the south end of the airport has concourse A,B and C and the north end has D and E. It seems to make sense, right?

Once we got to the security line at the other end we were preparing to remove shoes, belts, jackets, empty pockets and basically unpack all of our electronics, but before we started we heard the security person say, "Please make sure your cell phones are in your bag not in your pocket and leave on your shoes, belts and jackets." What? Did you say leave them on? No disrobing? Nope. Wow!! and we both wore flip flops just for this occasion.

Keri leans into me and whispers, "yeah, we get to leave all this on, but I bet they're going to do random asshole checks at the end". That woman cracks me up. Her sense of humor is crude sometimes and I just love it!!!
