Today, while going through airport security the lady asked why I folded everything so small. I said that I was going away for a month and needed to fit a lot of stuff in only one bag. She smiled, nodded and then dumped my luggage to search for "drugs and other illegal teen things." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML
Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML
Today, I borrowed a friend's suitcase for a trip. At the airport, security pulled me aside because there was a small metal object inside. I opened the suitcase expecting something suspicious and found a potato peeler. My friend had used the suitcase for groceries the week before. FML
Today, while going through customs at the airport, my bag was selected for screening. It was nearly overflowing because it was so full, so before the TSA agent searched it, I said, "Watch out - it's going to explode when you open it". Wrong choice of words. FML
Today, as I was crossing to the US, I got pulled over by border patrol for looking "suspicious". The female cop searched my purse and found a condom. She smirked and said, "I doubt you'd ever need that." FML
Today, I was traveling. At airport security, the woman patting me down felt something "down there" and asked me what I was wearing. I told her it was a sanitary napkin. She put her hands inside my pants just to be sure. FML
Today, I missed my flight because I was stopped by airport security. They found "small, suspicious, spherical objects" in my purse on the X-ray. After pulling me out of line, taking my purse aside and carefully opening it with tongs, they removed the bag of grapes I had packed as a snack. FML
Today, at the Eurostar customs, an officer asked me if I had packed my luggage myself. I teasingly answered "No, I was helped by a member of Al Qaeda." which earned me a body and luggage search and a missed train. FML
Today, I was standing at airport security. One of the bag inspectors asked me to remove my travel pouch, pointing to the lump under my shirt. I didn't know how to tell him that it was just one of my fat rolls. FML
Today, I was going through airport security. Trying to get things over and done with quickly, I dropped my pants without a second thought. Turns out they just wanted me to remove my shoes and belt. FML

If it was a man, you could've said, "Because I needed to make room for my tampons."

I'm irritated with people profiling teenagers. I had people at a bookstore follow me and my friends around the other day (Wednesday) because they thought we were going to steal a book. Mmhmm, we'd have been bad ass then. FYL.

This is sort of a "My Life Is Average" scenario. Today I was going through airport security and I was searched. They didn't find anything. MLIA. Today I walked out of Wal-Mart and the security sensors went off. The cashier forgot to deactivate something, so he ha to do it again. MLIA.

I love how all the teenagers on here think their life is SO HARD because they "might" have been profiled by TSA. Get over it, the world is not against you, there are people with bigger problems, go whine about it on your myspace. Seriously, the TSA people are just doing their jobs, but I guess you kids wouldn't know much about having jobs because mommy and daddy give you everything. ugh!

not all teenagers are like that. a good majority of people i know have jobs. WE are teenager and going to school (that is hard to do with the amount of homework we get in gr 11 and gr 12) Not every gets what they want because their parents gives it to them. Im actually am looking for a part time job but with the economy today its hard to teenagers to find a job. I dont get everything I want when i want it cause my parents cant afford it. So that was a hugeee insult to a lot of teenagers. just the shut the **** up

Airport security took my chocolate coins away from me one time. It was very upsetting.
