The First Post

We set out for the Ottawa Airport on time picking up Blue, our driver, on the way. We arrived at 3:30 and, after checking in, made our way to security. There, I was randomly selected for either a body scan or pat down. I elected the body scan. For some unfathomable reason, the body scan indicated that I was concealing something on my person and also needed a pat down. I indicated that there must be something wrong with the machine - I was wearing exactly four items of clothing - a bra, panties, a top and jeans - six if you count my sandals! I even had to take the Kleenex out of my pocket. After that, I checked around for Norma. Norma was still waiting in line - for some reason, a woman was escorted in front of her. She also was randomly selected. Once she was through, it was Norma's turn. She was randomly selected as well! She also had the body scan and, once again, needed a pat down. This random selection picked three people in a row! This whole process took a half hour but now we are waiting patiently for an hour to pass before we can board our plane to Toronto. We are both looking forward to the lounge there.
