Thank you. I'm afraid the nail ornament was the only one to make me laugh out loud . . . but it was quite loudly.

Hmm. I think I need a big pile of those ashtrays.

Sounds like the baggage screener tests were written by the same bright bulbs who wrote the NY State driver's license test (which I passed). Fortunately, there's a nonwritten component to the driving test (which I failed, twice).

Maybe security personnel should have to pass a practical examination, as well? Like, "Here are ten actors playing travelers, and here's their luggage. Go to it." One of the fake travelers should be carrying plastic knitting needles; the examinee who finds them and makes a sensible response gets to train for a supervisory position, at a higher rate of pay.

I got the error message, too, and hacked back the URL to get to the films. Go to http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/paprquery.html and search for Flatiron.
