    Ricci Wright,

    Years ago, not too long after 9/11, I was back in Chicago visiting. We drove up to the Kenosha Jelly Belly factory for the tour. Obviously, we couldn't leave without buying some of the product so I bought 2-2 lb. bags of Belly Flops which I was going to share with the bookkeeper.

    So I packed both bags away in my suitcase and didn't think about it again...until I started through security at Midway. This was when they were still using stainless steel sorting tables and portable x-ray machines. My bag went onto the table where the young lady ran it through the x-ray machine, and once more, then once more again. Now she called over the supervisor who stared at the screen for a long minute. He looked up at me squinting in a suspicious manner, asking me if he could have the key to unlock the suitcase. He moved the case to a table further away from the line and opened the case slowly. He gingerly slipped his hands down into the side of the case where he grabbed the bags of Belly Flops and laughingly produced them for the crowd of people delayed by his antics.

    He told me, as he pushed the suitcase down the line to the conveyer belt, that it looked like explosives of some sort or an unknown, suspicious material at the very least. I just shook my head realizing that flying was about to get intolerably harder because of these idiots.

    Best.
