airport security?

this story is one of my own.

steve and i recently went on a trip with friends to washington, d.c. on the way home, we accidentally left a leatherman in steve's camera case. we remembered when the bag was stuck in the x-ray machine.

the security guard was really nice and wasn't mad at us for having a knife in security. we asked him if there were any options for mailing it back to utah, since it would be about $90 to replace. he said there were some machines that might work. steve went with the guard. he called and said that the machines wouldn't work. so, he decided to take a risk on someone being nice. he found someone at the information desk and gave them some money and the leatherman and asked him to mail it to us.

well, of course we know that person didn't have to mail it, but about 2 weeks later, we got a package in the mail. yep, the guy from the airport came through.

it's great to risk on someone's good will and find out that it was worth the risk. so thanks to the guy at the dulles information desk!
