apparently, large earrings are considered a security threat to air travel...?


Yeah, so...apparently my love for large fashion earrings clashed momentarily with my love for travel today. At the KCI airport (at 6am, by the way) I got in line at security, put my stuff in the bins, checked my pockets, and proceeded through the metal detector. It went off. So the lady informed me that I had one more chance to go through the detector, and I'd better find whatever it was that set it off. She helped me check my pockets, I wasn't wearing a belt...and we couldn't figure it out. Finally, I pointed at my earrings, and though she was skeptical I went ahead and put them in a bin and attempted to clear security. Everything was fine the second time through, and it turns out, my earrings above are made out of something seemingly hazardous (or at least metallic) to the security men and women of KCI. Glad they're keeping us safe, though.


Hope you enjoyed this quirky little fact, and hope it made you smile!


Sarah and I are having a wonderful time in Vancouver so far, I'll try to keep you all updated.



Thinking about moving to Canada someday,
