That said when I flew from Mexico to Houston... I got some special treatment based on this.

Ok I got to sweating as I approached the counter... yes called menopause

So they wanted to take a looksie at my luggage, which is fine with me. They swabbed it for explosives, had a chuckle over where i packed my clippers, packed baggage, and my passport got a careful once over.

I thanked them for doing their job. Closed my bag and went on with my trip.

What triggered this ahem special treatment? The sweat... I was nervous... oh and they did enquire about that. Telling the 20 something female agent I was undergoing menopause gave her a chuckle...

As one of them put it, usually tourists give them grief... incidentally under our system my sweating was probable cause.
