Truth detector
My family and I were about to fly on a plane. We were going to Massachusetts for our Christmas vacation, but we had to go through security first. The airport was taking new security measures and using a new walk-through machine. The lady in charge told us that sometimes it was over-sensitive, programmed to detect even chemicals from some shampoos.
I had never set off the metal detector before, but I set off this machine. They couldn’t tell what did it, and I didn’t know either. Because of this, they had to wipe my palms with a sterile cloth to check if I’d been handling any chemicals. Well, that didn’t fix things, either. (Afterward, we figured out that I had super glue on my skin from when I’d been making some of my Christmas gifts.)
