I got there about 6:30 AM to get through security. I passed through the metal detectors and placed my camera bag on the table. They called over another agent to search my bag. He knew how to turn it on, asked if he could snap a picture and even powered up my 900 and fired off a flash. He took off every lens cap, checked every pocket, then handed me my bag. I said thank you and said, "You obviously know your way around a camera, are you a photographer?"
With that he gave me a cold, hard stare, said nothing and walked away. So no, no jail time. Thanks, Fred

ReplyDeleteSo, what happened with the Secret Service Agent conversation? any jail time :-)

Wow!! What a thrill for you. Excellent picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat story about the agent! I think that being unfriendly is part of the job description for security type folks.
