Before TMZ breaks the story I want to
clear the air: I allowed some nude photos to be taken of me recently,
but it never would have happened if the Transportation Security
Administration wasn't racist.
That's right, I got full body scanned.
I've never had to go through a full body scanner before, but this
past weekend my wife and I flew to Las Vegas and airport security
were full body scanning everyone with even remotely brown skin. This
was our first time flying together and my wife is Latina, so I was
guilty by association. They took one look at her and herded both of
us through the full body scanner. I had never been scanned before but
my wife said she gets scanned almost every time. As I sat putting my
shoes and belt back on I watched the people that were getting scanned
and they all happened to be minorities or people traveling with
minorities, like myself. And if you had any kind of head covering or
long beard, they swabbed all of your personal items for traces of
explosives.
The TSA might have nude pictures of me
and my wife, but the joke is on them because I snuck .6 extra ounces
of contact solution onto the plane. We eventually made it Vegas,
stayed for two nights and had the time of our lives. We left our baby
with his maternal grandparents, so we got a full night's sleep for
the first time in six months (longer for my wife). It was beautiful.
I almost cried.
The second night we hit all these
destinations:
That's A through L, friends. We were
party animals and stayed out all night. This means the we've still
got it. We're still cool. We're not succumbing to being old, boring parents.
That's a nice idea but truth be told we didn't mean to stay
out all night. We just got lost and by the time we found our way back
to the hotel it was time to go to the airport.
Does anyone else have cool vacation plans? Had any run-ins with the TSA?

Pssst....you're allowed as much contact solution as you want..it's considered a medical necessity lol ;)
I'm glad to hear y'all are still a blast b/c that's definitely my biggest fear - becoming lame. So now I know there's hope! :)
@daniela-Are you sure? That takes all the smugness out of my sails.
How was it like seeing Las Vegas after not seeing it for a good 20-ish years?
@sasquatch-Pretty weird. I didn't really recognize anything.
Hahaha, you make me laugh. Glad to hear you had a blast, still have it, and got a full nights sleep. :) We love Vegas.
@Katrina Jackson-Vegas was awesome but the full night's sleep was even better.
