We considered tooling around Seattle and boarding later in the day, but in the end just decided to get settled into our stateroom early. Good thing we did! We knew something went amuck when security ran Brad’s monsterous backpack through xray a second time…and then called another securit guard over as back up. “Do you have any weapons in here, sir?”. Brad’s face quickly turned from confusion to horror. “A pistol”, he said quietly. Brad had to carry his three computers (yes, THREE computers on vacation) down to the Port Authority’s security office, escorted by the very nice officer carrying the contraband. There they had to wait for the police to inspect his bag. Brad was lucky! He had his multiple carrying permits with him, so the Port Authority let him off with a warning and an escort to the car so he could safely store his extra luggage until our return. So sorry I didn’t get a picture to capture the moment!
