*Overheard phone conversation at the gate*
You'll never believe what happened,
Just a few minutes ago.
Walking through security,
I didn't expect a show.
Ahead of the crowd,
An early morning riser.
I strolled through without a care,
None the wiser.
I stood there patiently,
Waiting for my bag.
A TSA agent flagged me down,
An unexpected snag.
I thought it was a mistake,
Having packed so carefully.
Unzipping pockets,
Out came a toiletry.
My bottle of hair gel,
Confiscated!
My can of shaving cream,
Confiscated!
My things simply discarded,
How dare they have the audacity.
I reclaimed my bag in defeat,
My luggage at reduced capacity.
*Dialing another phone number several minutes later*
Hey, you'll never believe what happened...
