Lol. Did you wear a beanie as well? Or a balaclava?
Can't believe an extra metal zip would set it off- all jeans have metal zips.
I used to walk through security with 5 young kids so my number invariably came up. They don't test kids under 18 (I think that's the age limit) so the nearest adult got dragged in.
My middle son was working in drill and blast over the past two years but he now carries a blast ticket to get him off the hook if their detectors show the presence of explosive.
Thank goodness they didn't have those checks when I was working- I always had ANFO on my boots from wandering around the blast holes before and after a blast. Because I wasn't on a blast crew, I wouldn't have carried any paperwork.
I've had to empty coins out of my pocket. You can't be too careful, you know- I might bribe the pilot to go off route, using my small change!
