...at the post office when I went in to use the self-serve machine. When I walked through the metal detector, it went off. My first reaction was "oh no, I didn't lock my CCW up in the car". But I quickly remembered I didn't even have it with me today. A nearby postal worker, who wasn't phased in the least casually asked if I had any metal on me. I fished through my pockets and pulled out all of the metal I could find in my pockets; keys, coins, a memory card. Went back through. It beeped again. Other customers nearby were watching without a whole lot of concern as I fished through my pockets again. Turned out the offending object was a Christmas fruitcake I'd picked up when I stopped by my office this afternoon. It was wrapped in two layers of tinfoil. It got a good laugh. I didn't realize those machines were so sensitive.
For the record. I have a license to carry concealed fruitcake, it's registered, and I have all appropriate documentation.
