lawrocket 3 #1 December 7, 2006 So I had an appearance this morning in another county. They dont' give attorneys a "go through the metal detector free" card. My briefcase apparently caused some concern with the security. It was nothing except the needle nosed pliers, pliers, vise grips and screwdriver that I forgot to take out after assembling some office furniture yesterday. It appears that such devices cause concern and dismay when being brought into a courthouse. Good thing I am an attorney - they just confiscated the stuff and let me get it back when I left the courthouse. It made me a couple of minutes late for my appearance, but luckily, the judge didn't ask why I was late or I would have had to tell him. Lesson learned - check yourself prior to attempting to enter a court to make sure you are not carrying primitive torture equipment. That is all. Carry on... My wife is hotter than your wife.

Jewels 0 #4 December 8, 2006 I once had an unfortunate tweezer incident when going through security for court. At least it had nothing to do with actual tweezing. TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #5 December 8, 2006 I went for jury duty not long after TSA started the stupid "no liquids and gels" thing. I had a moment of thinking "oh no, I can't bring my water bottles in with me" till I realized that no, not ALL security checkpoints will give a crap about my 16 oz of Dasani."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Twoply 0 #6 December 8, 2006 I'm a carpenter and started teacihng myself more about locksmithing. I rekey, replace and install all kinds of locks. Mostly for fun, I practice picking padlocks and such while driving. I drove my wife to the airport and was able to walk her to the gate because of our new baby. I emptied my pockets and realized I ahd some picks with me. The whole security area was buzzing over it. The pulled me aside and asked what business I had with them. I told them I was a carpenter, they said "Oh, ok here you go," and let me walk right up to the gate with my wife. Man they belive anything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siddacious 0 #7 December 8, 2006 Federal buildings in general are pretty strict. While working as a motorcycle courier, I made a delivery at one of the local federal buildings. Security made me take of my boots (steal shin guards), xray everything on me, and check my id at least twice. Suprisingly, they didn't say anything about the hand tools I carry in my bag (TSA did, they took them away on a recent trip).A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras.

normiss 892 #10 December 8, 2006 I believe those are the required tools to gain access to the sensitivity adjustment controls and to perform the actual adjustment on the metal detector in the courthouse...so as to breeze through the security area on a future date.

SmilingPhoenix 0 #13 December 8, 2006 te he he, when I went to the courthouse this morning I checked my purse first to be sure I didn't have anything they would object to.

slug 1 #20 December 8, 2006 Hi SP We joke about getting a shoe salesmen job in a high end exclusive womens shoe store for the benifits Then checked what it was going to cost us, Shave face daily, wear suit and tie daily, shined shoes, buffed finger nails, pinky ring, gold chain and shower in smelly water and commute during rush hr. Scratch head scratch butt, Scratch head scratch butt. In my situation the percieved job benifits weren't worth the costs. Any guy's here have experience working in a womens shoe store in the real world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
