When I worked for the public library here we used to get a lot of crap put in the lost and found too. The most memorable one was a clay statue of a really ugly clown. You could tell some amatuer did it, it was that ugly. Anyway it was just left on our sidewalk and my boss said we had to take it to the lost and found. No one ever claimed it and I was happy when the 30 days was up and I could smash it to my heart's content.

And I remember the days when you could get away with that kind of stuff at the check-in counter, when accompanied by the appropriate eye-roll and laugh. These days, everyone is so ing uptight that it makes me wince when I have to travel even more than the lines... which I've never found particularly long.

It's probably revenge as they're still not allowed to say "Never heard that one before ha ha ha"

Not saying it wasn't , just that you used to be able to crack those kinds of lame jokes without repercussions.

To be honest, probably not, its not a high value military target, its not (probably) an intensly crowded public area, unlike a shopping arcade, its not a target that would generate a large amount of publicity nor would it have an impact on the countries infrastructure, unless of course said library in a military base above the officers mess next to a press office under an electricity substation.

And THIS is the reason I like road tripping it when I can. You know who is in charge of luggage in the Jestermobile? I AM! And I decide what can go and what can't, and I don't have to give any reasons, and the only people I strip search are those that let me. (Total to date: zero. Well, none that were done for the simple purpose of being allowed in the Jestermobile, anyways....) I can bring as much luggage as I feel like, there is no weight limit (the only limit is the space inside the Jestermobile, which is plentiful), it doesn't have to be packed a certain way, it can be locked or unlocked, I can pack any kind of liquid toiletries I want to bring with me, etc., etc. I also determine my own schedule, subject only to traffic and construction delays. I also control the entertainment (radio), climate (windows or AC), enforce my own nonsmoking rule (hey, my truck!), and decide who does and who doesn't get to board Air Jester!
And I can make all the jokes about bombs, hazardous material, terrorists, and murderers I want, and no one can fuck with me! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
...Of course, I'm usually just talking to myself with all of the above.
But still, road trips rock!
