I'm heading to Regina tonight (thank you Telus Aircard for the uninterrupted, hassle free internet!) to attend their community connection event in association with the VS.NET 2008 launch events. Very pumped. I'm meeting Gary and Will for drinks...I guess I'll have to sample Pilsner...I never have.
[Edit] In the time that I started writing this and right now, they just announced the flight will be delayed...I'm not boarding until 9ish, which is about 40 minutes late.[/Edit]
So...I'm going through airport security and I empty everything into my coat to go to the scanner, but realize before I walk through the ... um..., well I'll call it the "Metal Detector" for now...so before I walk through it, I realize that I still have my watch and rings on...I guess I'm getting wanded (by Betty*, the blonde non-butch security worker no less).
I walk through.
It doesn't beep.
IT DOESN'T BEEP! Seriously, I have a watch made almost ENTIRELY OF METAL and TWO METAL RINGS on. And it doesn't beep?! Maybe its not a *metal* detector and only detects certain substances? I dunno...it was just weird though.
*Betty isn't her real name...I didn't want to say it because I figured that she *might* get into trouble for not realizing I just walked through a metal detector with a huge piece of metal attached to my hand
