Umb-er-ellas

Another lost blog, if you remember us saying the security to get into the base of the Statue of Liberty was very intense, here's what happened.....

First just like the airport, everything goes through an x-ray machine, then you have to go through the blast booth. Air puffs your clothes and hair to check for explosives. So of coarse up to here we were fine, then my purse was taken off the line and scanned again... and again and a third time?? One of the security guards said to the scanner person " what does it look like?" the scanner person says " it doesn't look good!" what the heck was in my purse??? We had already had hidden scissors found in our computer back pack, then our jump drive looked like a pocket knife? so now what.... they opened my purse and found....
2 umbrellas!! I guess with the tube shape and all the crisscrossed wires it looked menacing?? lol oh well, they let us pass through after their thorough investigation.
