Bang to rights
Have you ever been caught 'bang to rights' but got away with it?

Many moons ago, I was working abroad and catching a flight home every two weeks for the weekend.
After several months of flying and not getting searched I decided to take half an oz of the finest pollem away with me (I was living in a studio flat on my own & with no social life, it seemed worth the risk!).
Rather than hide the dope on my person, I'd thrown it into the bottom of my rucksack and packed everything on top.
Anyway, when I got to security, I found they were searching the bags of everyone going through as there had been some security alert (this was several years ago, before it all went nuts like it is today).
When I got to the 'dude' (as I shall forever refer to him), I handed my bag over and hoped he would just have a poke about.
I'm a rather calm person by nature and decided to just play it cool and see what happened.
What happened is he emptied every bloody thing out of the bag!
When he got out the last thing, which was a bag of socks that I'd dumped over the gear, he just stared for a few seconds into the bag.
I knew he was staring at my lump of dope and the fear started to rise in my belly.
Then he calmy put the socks back before repacking my bag and handing it to me.
"We're just looking for weapons today sir. Have a nice day." he said with a wink and a little smile.
Although my sphlincter hadn't slackened a micron, I still managed a muffled "you too mate." before walking calmy, yet quickly through to the departure lounge.

I still occasionally raise a glass to that guy. A sane man in and increasingly beaurocratical and analy-retentive society.

Actually, maybe this should be a question about sane men/women in an insane world?

*is too stoned to think about it*
