<\/p>\nYesterday, after the FTU seminars, I headed to DCA. I got in the priority lane and noticed that the two people in front of me had MilePoint luggage tags. \u00a0I asked if they’d been at the seminar. It turns out that I was standing behind Tommy – the man behind the program. \u00a0As we waited – the line wasn’t the quickest – we chatted and waited for our turn to go through security.<\/p>\n
As I waited for my bags to come through the x-ray machine, I noticed that person Tommy was traveling with had been stopped by TSA. Apparently, the Freddie Award she had packed in her bag had confused TSA. \u00a0Next thing I know, TSA was asking to search my bag. \u00a0It’s not everyday that you see two very frequent flyers pulled over by TSA.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The agent who searched my bag pulled out a box of left-over RIFD Credit Card Sleeves that we were handing out at FTU. \u00a0It seems that a box of 500 RFID sleeves looks like something else in the x-ray! \u00a0So after checking my luggage and re-scanning the cards, I was allowed to go.<\/p>\n

Ironically, I got to say hello to a work-colleague in the security line who was in DC with his family for the weekend (not related to FTU). \u00a0It’s such a small world – it was great to finally meet Tommy (we’d exchanged a few emails earlier in the year) – and talk about FTU and F2B.<\/p>\n
It was also nice to have a chuckle over the fact that the award and then my RFID sleeves caused TSA some challenges. \u00a0The lesson learned – ship the RFID sleeves to Chicago for the Chicago Seminars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
