PROSTATE CANCER - "the gift that keeps on giving".

Thanks Brian. A great read.

Brilliant, Brian! We’ve never met but I can still envisage you at airport security!!!!

The journey continued in a little room with no windows. Talk about an examination, the catheter was checked to ensure it was connected to my penis and then I had to run both hands over my urine leg bag and they were both drug swiped!!

On the return journey in Turkey, same type of x-ray machine, and I was just waved through but due to "extra security" I had my hand luggage searched at the departure gate, drug swiped and patted down - no one "found" my urine leg bag!!

Best wishes - Brian.

And I thought things were bad last year when my hands, iPad and holdhall were swabbed for drugs at Barbados airport and then at Charles de Gaulle a few weeks later! Are us ‘more mature’ people soft targets for security staff?!!!

In my opinion it's a case of the older you are, the more guilty you look when passing through security - even when you have nothing to hide.  Must be how we were taught to obey people in authority.  I know I always expect to be pounced on when going through airports, especially when carrying a jar of Robertsons marmalade for my breakfast toast 

I must look sooo guilty! I nearly always get pulled over for something :) 

Hi Millibob - an excellent article : you know yourself (and your sense of humour) so well!  Thanks, too, for the shout out for our little band of brothers and sisters on here.    AW
