and they're like, well, what's this And they pulled off
the knife and they walk me across like all the
lanes of TSA like holding this knife up, and they
took it from me, like they offered, you know, I
could either take it back to my car, they would

So I was coming back from Mexico with a piece
of dead coral that I found on the beach and
coming through Tsa and all they heard was that I
had a coralie a piece of coral in my luggage,
and they lost their minds. They took me into a

(04:01):
special area. They took all of my belongings, like they
ran everything through. There was a group of people that
were off in the corner just whispering and looking at me,
like side eyeing me like I had just like killed
a baby whale or something. It was horrible, and we
finally I showed them what I had and they were like,

(04:24):
this is a rock and I said, yeah, it's a
it's a piece of dead coral and they're like, oh
my gosh. We thought it was like a piece of
live coral and that's illegal and you can't do that
and oh my god, oh yeah it was. It was horrible.
I was like, how would I first of all bring
a piece of live corals home with me in my luggage,
like it was wrapped in a sock.

buy Kyle's brush back and go here.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
I got you, bye, cat, Thanks for holding what TSA
take from you?

Speaker 8 (06:01):
Well, it wasn't necessarily TSA. But long story short, I
was involved in a crime, and of course they take
your car into evidence, and in my trunk of my car,
I had a first aid kit full of all my
sex toys in it. And so so when I finally
get my car out of evidence, I'm like, yes, I'm

(06:23):
gonna go get my first aid kit. Well, my first
aid kit's gone.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
And I'm like no, because that's a lot of money,
you know what I'm saying. And so I call my
attorney and then he calls the detective and he's like, hey,
she wants her first aid kit back, And the detectives like, yeah,
she can't have that back.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Call It's like, what are you doing with my.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
First aid kit?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah? Why would they?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Why would they want that? Why would.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
It?

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Was?

Speaker 7 (06:53):
It was just you know, bad bad times back then,
involved with wrong people.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know, Okay, let me.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Let me ask this. You called in because we were
talking about what did TSA take away from you? Right?
Uh huh, okay, good. I just want to make sure
because I.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Just yeah, no, well I thought I heard you say, like,
what is what did something get confiscated from you? And
I thought it was pretty funny because no, that works.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
No, No, that's fantastic. I'm glad you called that. I
want to make sure that you did that. I was
going to question the phone screener.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, I mean I guess they're like TSA.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Right, Yeah, No, that's that works perfectly.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
What will have been the chances if we said what
sex toys got taken away from you because of a crime,
or what.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Do you put in you first aid kid other than
first A tools?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
We probably would have never gotten to those.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right, kat, perfect, Thank you so.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Much for calling you guys, I love you too.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
To wrap this up, I thought this was interesting as heck.
These are six weird things that can get you flagged
by TSA. Arguing or being aggressive, using too much alone
or perfume. They might think you're trying to mask the
smell of drugs, so they'll pull you over if you're

(08:05):
extra chatty with them they think something's up. It can
get you padded down because they might think you're trying
to distract them. These guys are trained not making eye contact.
If you don't make eye contact as another sign you're nervous,
you have something to hide. How about this? This one
I thought was so like, So, if you're a TSA
agent and you see someone in line and think it
looks suspicious and they're yawning a lot, could it be

(08:28):
their do morning radio?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh? No, yawning a lot.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
When people are stressed, they tend to want more oxygen,
so they start yawning. And if you are yawning, they
pull you aside and give you a strip search.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And this is your TSA just number one thing. They'll
get you flagged at TSA.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
If you're being dressed wrong for the weather, like having
way too many layers in the summertime, it could mean
you're trying to hide something.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
What it's just freezing on the airplane in the airport,
like I always layer up no matter.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I think, what if where you're going is cold?

Speaker 9 (08:58):
You know?

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Then again I was under the weather and I took
a big thick jacket with me when I went to Hawaii,
and I wore it on the plane, and I take
it off and I roll it up and I put
it underneath my lower backs.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It feels better, but I never got flagged. I bring
it to say, bring it. He's put into it all
those you're probably yawning. Contact. There's no way not being
too chatty. Though not too chatty, all right, it's Ja
Jean Rich. Thanks for me
