My hand luggage was syphoned off to the left for special attention....
Him-hello sir, is this your bag
Me-yes that's mine
Him-OK that's fine, can you confirm that you packed this bag yourself sir?
Me-yes, yes I did.
Him-is there any possibility that anyone may have interfered with your bag since you packed it?
Me-er, no, well, no, I doubt it,no
Him-could you confirm that sir? That nobody could have interfered with your bag since you packed it
Me-yes nobody
Him-(refers to the monitor showing the x-ray of my bag) its just these two cylindrical electronic looking devices either side of your camera and lenses sir, would you mind opening the top clasp of your bag please?
Me-errr OK (undoes clasp on my rucksack)
Him-(dons rubber gloves, inserts hand, plus out No 1) could you explain to me the nature of this device sir?
Me-yes, that's a personal vapouriser...
Him (meanwhile pulls out No 2)
Me-in other words, an e-cigarette on steroids
Him-(inspects 510 end and buttons with curiosity) my sir, I've seen lots of electronic smoking devices (really!) before but never one this big
Me-(smirks)
Him-Yes that's the biggest ive seen yet, have they been available for a long time?
Me-err, I'm not sure, about two years?
Him-well I've never come across one that big before sir! I'm now going to swab this for security purposes and provided the result is negative your baggage will appear in the right hand conveyor
Me-OK, thanks
Him-thank you sir.
The moral of this story...
Pack your Vamo's in your hold luggage...
Just Sayin!
