[ RadSafe ] Cat out of the bag after passingthroughairportscanner :-D

[edmond0033]

They don't let you send the cat or dog through the X-Ray scanner.  They take 
you aside with the carrier.  Then they make you take the anminal out of the 
carrier and scan the carrier or inspect it and inspect the animal.
