I carry air pump in my bag all the time in case for flat tire.
I was going to city courtm and in the security check entrance, I was
unable to pass the x-ray check. The guard was asking me in loud voice
"What is that thing in your bag?' I said it's air pump for my bike.
I opened the bag and showed the security guard. She did not believe
that. She ordered the next security guard to check it out. When I
explained to
him, he said ok this is the air pump. I have had to demonstarte how
air pump worked. This never happended before 9/11. This is too much
stricting.
