Just wanted to post about my recent experience at MCO. Just back from a 7 day trip to Disney world. During security screening process my shirt made the body scanner light up like a Christmas tree. It had small sparkles on it and whatever they were made of the scanner didn’t like. Not a big deal for me so much - just step aside and they screened me further (outside of shirt with back of hand whatever no big deal). The problem was that when this happened I saw out of the corner of my eye the woman in line ahead of me looking around To see if anyone was watching and then TAKING my TABLET from my bin!!! (My stuff had already gone through the X-ray machine but I couldn’t retrieve it because of the body scan issue). While I didn’t want to cause a ruckus, DH didn’t see her as he was going through the scanner himself at this point. I’m trying to decide what to do as I’m trying to listen to the instructions from the TSA agent but I’m panicking as she’s reaching for my purse next which has my phone money ID and everything. So I had to yell at her (while being patted down a few feet away) to put my things down. I said something like “ma’am those are MY things put them back.” She looked startled and then put my tablet back. And no she didn’t have a tablet like mine so it wasn’t just an honest mistake.
So basically I’m just reminding everyone to be extra aware of your stuff when going through security. People will try to steal even with security standing literally right next to them. Oh and maybe skip the shirt with sparkles so you don’t get “extra attention” from security.
