The Ham Situation

We took a trip to Florida to see the Jackal. We left there this afternoon just in time to beat the cold front that was moving through all the Palm Beaches, which, I understand, was going to plunge the temperature into the high 60's and low 70's. We were lucky to make it out before all flights were canceled.

I am posting this for your information. Many of you travel, and I wanted to make you aware of problems I have encountered in my own globe-trotting.

Please take notice that the TSA -- that's the Transportation Safety Administration to those of you who don't often travel by plane or train and have been sequestered from all contact with FOX News -- frowns upon packing half of an award-winning ham from The Sausage Shoppe in your luggage. The only things in the checked bag were the vacuum-packed ham and two cell phone car chargers, and I found one of these in the bag:

I'm trying to figure out just what the TSA inspectors thought when the bag made its way through the Scannabombometer 5000 and detected this:

Did they think that I put a bone bomb in my satchel? I mean what is the purpose of scanning luggage? To find contraband hams headed for Florida?
