I get the full search a lot. Before Sept 11, I always won the random luggage search lottery. I usually had pot in my luggage. How they never found it suggests, they did find it but wanted to see what I may have been up to.

Seriously, they never found it, even when it was in a baggy on top of everything. In an envelope in a book. In a Sucrets tin. As joints in my clear plastic toothbrush safe.

I helped organize the Mobilization Against the War in Akron and Kent.

The hardest thing about Florida Man's term in the White House was not being able to get to Austin to march. Still wear black Converse Chuck Taylor's. Being in my 70s and fighting cancer slowed me down a tick.
