Thanx to Homeland Security

This is what we see when we are directed to the "security" lane prior to getting on the ferry.
It does seem to happen with a bit too much regularity, but
what can we say except - "OK."

It's our turn now. We pull up to the line on the pavement and the inspector
comes over to walk around our car. He checks under it all the way around.
We must open all doors and glove compartments as well as the hood.

It's all finished, and Gene is back to being happy. Our inspection this time is
just as it is every time - a pain in the patootie. However, far be it from me
to complain too much. This may save us or someone else from
a BIG BANG!
