I'll bet the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" has a real hard time getting through airport security. He'd constantly be setting off all of the metal detectors when he'd walk through them. You just know, security would be holding up the line by making him go back through again and again. "Hmm? Not sure why it keeps going off... Maybe it's my belt buckle"... After 20 minutes or so, he'd fill dozens of those little trays with loose change, car keys, an oil can, an ax, his little funnel hat, ankle bracelet, a souvenir "I visited Oz and got a heart!" refrigerator magnet, and even a collectible Flying Monkey metal lunchbox... and yet, security would still be waving that wand under his outstretched arms and between his legs trying to figure out why he's beeping. Eventually, the only thing they can do is to have him disassembled and sent through on that x-ray conveyor belt one piece at a time... Hey, it sure beats a body cavity search. (Trust me on this one.)
