Here's the new day job for stand-up comics: airport security screener.
"Take your time, take your time," our Transportation Security Administration baggage engineer fast-talked, Eddie Murphy style, as we lurched toward him with hobbled foot and a badly balanced bag. "I'll wait for you."
"Does your bag contain any medication you may require on this flight?" he inquires.
No.
"Do you have any photographic film, used or unused, in there?"
No.
Dramatic pause.
"Guess what! You have not completed this process," he announces with a flourish. "You may now take a left, proceed to the middle escalator, and rise one floor to Airside F. Have a very nice flight."
Now that guy's worth my money.
