This morning I was glued to Fox News, listening to the coverage about the foiled terrorist attack and the ongoing struggle between Israel and the Hezbollah. The identity of those terrorists made my head spin and changed my opinion about the airport security procedures in a big hurry. I cannot fathom why a pregnant woman would want to blow herself up.

I was very nervous about boarding that plane. Yesterday and this morning, I made sure to leave my liquid toiletries at my parents’ house. I didn’t expect any problems boarding the plane.

When my carry-on bag went through the screening, the techie immediately called for a physical search. What did I forget to remove? As it turns out, I had packed a bottle of onion marinade for my husband on Wednesday and forgot all about it.

I voluntarily gave it up and proceeded past the checkpoint. As passengers began boarding the plane, TSA officers performed a random search. For once, I wasn’t one of the passengers who were singled out.

The plane was packed with people, and the flight attendants were very abrupt. I’d hate to be them right now. My oldest and I heard a funny noise after the plane took off and looked at one another. When nothing happened, we relaxed a little.

Three hours later, we arrived in San Jose without incident. I’ll post about my vacation tomorrow, after I’ve calmed down a bit.
