Last week I visited my family on the East Coast. I took a flight that left at 5:30 PM. The flight arrived very late in Providence, RI so I brought 2 meals along with me.

For meat, I brought rotisserie chicken. I can't remember what I brought as a brown. It might have been blue corn chips, which are not my best brown, but at least they are easily portable and don't need to be heated up. I brought a container of steamed zucchini and summer squash as my vegetable.

The last few times I've flown, I've been given pre-approved status. I have no idea why. Anyway, I went through the metal detector and then waited for my bags to come through the scanner. Soon it became apparent that something was going on with my tote bag. A man took me and the bag to a table and began to search it. It turned out it was my vegetables! He tested inside the bag with some sort of strange wand and then let me go. I had a lot of fun texting people and telling them I had been detained because of suspicious vegetables. I said that maybe they were afraid I would force the other passengers to eat them.
