I flew into the Honolulu from Australia maybe a month after 9/11 and yeah there was military personnel full kitted out ever 3 metres.

When you hopped off the plane you immediately got x-rayed, I didn't have any carry on so was able to just walk through, unknown to me the person in front of me forgot to grab a fucking poster tube off the x-ray and two of the soldiers ran after me yelling about the tube, I kind of ignored the yelling at first because I didn't know what the hell the tube was they were yelling about until I sensed everybody was looking at me, I turn around and see them rushing me and right before they got to me the other person is like oh that's mine.. fun holiday
