Hi there

I was going through New Zealand airport security a year or so back.  I'm always excited - and nervous -  to be starting off on a holiday; it probably showed.  Still, I beamed at the guy operating the x-ray booth, the one that we have to stand in so as they can see if we're carrying anything illegal under or over our clothes.  The hard-worked security people deserve my beaming at them because they have to put up with a lot from passengers.

He beamed right on back, and waved me over to his monitor.  Oh, no, I thought, what am I wearing that's betraying me?  My rings?  Ear-rings?  The sequins on my sweater?  

"Hey, come and see how happy you look".  The guy pointed to the screen. 

Um... I peered c!osely at the screen.

It was just the outline of a figure.  No detail at all.

"Gotcha!"  He grinned.

This guy made my day.  I tripped merrily away, in such a good mood to start my holiday
