TSA made me take off my jewelry today, which they’ve weirdly never done before. I tossed it in one of those little trays and watched it roll to the corner. Then someone shoved another tray right on top of mine, and everything got mixed up.
A minute later, my tray’s halfway down the belt and my ring’s gone. I’m holding up the line, on my knees checking the floor while an agent asks if I’m okay. Finally spotted it wedged in another tray and nearly cried with relief.
Lesson learned never putting jewelry loose in those trays again.
