I was flying down to NYC for a meeting tomorrow. Diane had loaded me up with stuff to take to Max and his roomies. One of the things she&#8217;d bought for them was some ground buffalo meat .. Max is a vegan, but his roomates are all hardcore carnivore.. anyway. I&#8217;m on a\u00a0 short trip, so I wasn&#8217;t checking any bags.. So .. I slipped the still frozen wrapped meat into my briefcase.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Normally, I always get held up when goign through airport security becaus eof the homeade elctronics I always have in my bag.. (my rainbow headband, TV-g-gone, ardiuino board, etc0&gt; This time, I&#8217;d taken all that stuff out, so I expected smooth sailing.. <\/p>\n<p>No such luck.. they questioned me about the meat in my bag..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I told them it was just my&#8217; carrion luggage .. get it ?!?!
