It earned me a visit to a cinder block room with cameras for hours only to be entertained by two gentlemen wearing vests
That was a long day.

I know at NI Week one year JKI had their stress relief toolkit for LabVIEW, which was basically silly puddy. We imagined someone won an Arduino from the LAVA BBQ and try to walk through security with a random looking bare board microcontroller, and something that resembles plastic explosives.

That reminds me of when I was in college taking Embedded Systems. My task at the time was to make the microcontroller control 3 7-segment displays and do a countdown. I had this all on a breadboard and was walking around with it. It was lunch time, so I went to the nearby Subway and the sandwich maker there asked me if it was a bomb. I immediately told her what it was. But then I started thinking...I do know how to make a bomb.
I should probably add that I was a co-op at a company that made fuses for bombs. For those who know me, imagine me running around with C6 and H2SNO4.

Ah, gone are the days (1994) that my friend could hand carry a automotive starter motor through security onto our return flight. Dutifully put it under the seat ahead of him, rather than in the overhead, caused a bit of a kerfluffle when, during the braking part of the landing, it rolled several seats forward. Ah, those were the days. I will say that those of us travelling with him didn't get in the security line immediately adjacent to him.!
