Airport Security Stopped Me and Searched My Bag.
Well, it's been a while since I have written on my blog. HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT!? How do they write on their blog daily? Anyway, I have completed probably 4 or 5 videos since I last wrote on my blog. And I am still working on making videos with Moving Action shots. Go to http://youtube.com/missiana69 to see the rest of my videos. Anyway, this little video is something that I completed about my last airport experience. I found it interesting. I DO appreciate that the TSA are doing a thorough job. I am grateful that security guards take the time to seek, search, and do what they do. I just found my experience rather odd so I just wanted to share it with others. I created this video through xtranormal since I wasn't sure how to go about creating the dialogue that occurred but wanted to somehow document my experience. I was stopped when I was going through airport security. I hope that it might be informative as well. This is a true story with little embellishment. Enjoy!
