The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 12, 2023

Must have a lot of iron in his blood!

Oh, the irony.

All of the others, metal successfully detected.

The last guy shouldn’t have packed his house keys in his suitcase.

Wolverine must have threatened this guy when he went through the detector; now he gives all those guys a pass.

Pardon my ignorance, but who’s the fourth guy?

It’s that a metal detecting wand, or a stud finder?

He’s the only one with lead in his pencil

Every so many passengers thy have to do the extra tests, I am usually the one!

Maybe it’s a stud detector

He looked a little wired to the screener.

All that exercising paid off. His buns of steel triggered the alarm.

“Dang. It’s happened again! I’ll sure be relieved when the last of the barium is gone.”

These machines can produce different results, so their accuracy is somewhat underwhelming. Boarded a recent cruise and the sensors sounded until I removed my watch & gold wrist chain. Apparently my neck chain was OK. When I returned on board after a shore visit wearing all the items, I sailed (pun intended) straight through.

It’s a Marvel of engineering.

His “spear”is as hard as steel.

Well, he’s going to be flying on Magnet Air.

I had a TSA officer ask me how I liked my pat down

Next in line: the Metal Men.

Ding ding ding!

This happened to me, A woman agent pulled me aside and told me to put my arms out and spread my legs in front of everybody at the airport. She proceeded to take her wand and go all over and she went up my skirt three times‼️ I was so appalled and embarrassed. Of all the people there, I was in a sundress, whereas there were foreign men in line…why would thy pick ME? ☹️

Airport security is ironing out all of the details.

Those things hate Blue Jean zippers.

I have a titanium plate screwed into my fibula. I can’t wait to see if that sets anything off.

Reminds me of scenes from Airplane!

Maybe he likes medieval cod pieces.

With 2 metal hips and a metal knee, I’m like the guy they send thru to train the TSA rookies.

Been done before, on an episode of Nickelodeon’s “Rocko’s Modern Life,” where it ends with the TSA agent opening Rocko’s mouth and pulling out a pair of pliers. (Okay, to be fair, Nickeloodeon stopped airing the episode after 9/11, since it involves a plane crash, but it is available on Paramount+.)

Some jokester flipped the switch from “Detect metal” to “Detect lack of metal.”

Non-metal detector…

It’s a test of his mettle.

He shouldn’t have ironed his shirt this morning.

The TSA agent wasn’t paying attention to the (broken ?) detector at all. Just his quota requirements to pull every 6th person aside for ’special attention ’.

ARGUE MAN! They cannot get away with this. Make an example of him.

Shouldn’t have flown Heavy Metal Airways.

he probably got pulled aside ’cause he has to steel himself to go through the detector…

Must be Little Rock airport

Last guy didn’t set off the alarms, what was he hiding?
