Your papers, please, and you'd better be able to verify your birthdate.
I was detained in Bozeman, MT because I kept setting off the wand alarm.
I wear a silver bracelet that has become as familiar as my skin, and that day I was wearing a long-sleeved sweater and I totally forgot it was on. I was asked to step aside where my shoes were checked, again, and my whole body wanded in full view of other passengers. Then I realized it was my bracelet and I was released.
No, that didn't make me feel safer.
