When I was pregnant and going through airport security, the machine pinged my baby as potential contraband. The TSA agent clearly felt awkward when she ran her hand over my lower abdomen, like "yep, that's just a baby bump." It was so stupid it looped around to funny.

A coworker of mine had her baby stroller stopped because it detected gunpowder. They held the baby and wouldn't let her touch him while they completely ripped the stroller apart because it was such a strong detection.

Turned out her husband was to blame. He is a conservation officer and had the stroller stored in the back of the pickup truck where the crew would put ammunition boxes, firearms, carcasses, tools, etc for the conservation office for a good few weeks. 😂 She was absolutely furious because he promised that he had cleaned the stroller before packing it for the trip. He swore it looked clean is it was "only a little dusty". She said she had never been more scared for her baby in her life.😅
