You know how the US customs are strict since 9/11!

Well, as I was passing through the gate, the alarm went off, so I had to walk back.

While I was explaining to the officer that I wasn't carrying anything dangerous, he suddenly
took out a small nail-file out of my jacket, and searched my briefcase !

I said I was sorry and I made my way to the plane.

But as I was walking, another security officer asked me to take my shoes off to check them!
Then I was late, I ran and boarded the 777 barefoot.
