metal detector.

She went along for hours, waiting as the TSA guards processed the flow of people.

Delayed by the various people getting in arguments over what could or couldn’t go on the plane.

She was happy to have chosen to travel lightly, all she brought with her was her passport and plane ticket in a blue and gold micro purse. Having only this her dress, bikini and shoes on her, she left all the rest in her luggage, with no network in flight and no one on arrival to call she left her phone in there too.

After a very fat man was told that he couldn’t bring his 2litre bottle of soda on board and decided to drink it in protest she was free to pass the security gate.

As instructed she put her shoes and purse on the tray and went through the machine.

BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!!

"Miss stand in the circle please, leg shoulder spread appart and arms in the air." Instructed a security officer, his colleagues get their hands on their tasers.

"But officer? What is wrong? I have nothing on me!" Tried Mackenzie.

An officer with a manual detector arrived to scan her again.

BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!!

"Miss do you have any metalic objects on you ?" He asked.

"No I swear all I have us this dress and my bikini...." she began. "Wait, my bikini as metalic clasps on it, it must be this setting the machine off."

"Well we cant trust you, Miss. You'll have to remove your dress." He told her.

"Is there somewhere private I could do that?" She asked them.

"Sorry Miss but you can only be left alone with a female officer and only after being handcuffed for her security. Unfortunately our only female security is pregnant and won't come back for 3 months." He replied.

She was now worried, only 20 minutes before her plane left and trying to get out of this might include a formal complaint that could take hours. Her tickets can't be reimbursed and she risks having her luggage with her phone, keys and wallet flying away without her leaving her stranded at the airport , ruining her vacations.

She told herself that she was wearing her bikini anyway, thousands will see her in it on the beach and with her beautiful body she had notjing to be ashamed of.

She slowly revomed the blue sundress, standing in her stunning blue bikini with its bothering golden clasps.

"I'll take this and handscan you again" he said putting her dress on the tray with her phone and purse."

BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!! BUZZZZ!!!!!

"You see it's the clasps that ring on the machine." Said Mackenzie to the officer.

"She's right." Replied the officer.

Relieved Mackenzie let a breath out that she didn’t notice holding in.

She began to exit the circle painted on the ground toward her stuff, happy to get her plane on time.
