Today I flew from Baltimore to Memphis so I can finally acquaint myself
with the birth place of the blues and the home turf of Elvis Presley. Arriving at my motel room, I opened my
suitcase to commence unpacking and found a card lying on top of my belongings.
It turns out my suitcase had been checked by security, not, it would
seem, because they had suspicions about its content, but just as a standard
safety measure. Of all days of the year,
it isn’t any wonder that people’s bag contents are being examined today. It is the 11th of September, the
seven year anniversary since the twin towers were attacked and thousands lost
their lives. Naturally security wants to
do everything they can to stop such a tragedy like 9/11 occurring again.
