Because the guitar was electric...and the modulator/amp were in tow.....the rig had to be plugged in and a few chords were throwed.....with twelve minutes left the flight it was....(no rhyme)
To show:
1. The guitar/amp were not wired to explosives
2. The carry-on was owned by an "un-identified artist." (NOT!!!)
3. The "power" of the minimum wage check-clerk to delay flights.(Perhaps?)
4. Security of the facility - NEVER !!!
Personally, the BEST security measures I have EVER observed are in Frankfurt, Germany....that airport is tighter than a 99 year-old-virgin's-cunt. (If you even look cross-eyed you are pulled into the room to right of the reception area...guitar, harmonica, fife included!) ((Them Deutcher's got it down TIGHT!!!))
