Airport Pigeon

Passing through airport security/screening today at JFK, we noticed a pigeon flying over the TSA screening equipment directly into the terminal. No x-ray, no metal detection, no enhanced pat down..just right into the mythical safe zone. Of course we were forced to remove our shoes, belts, pocket items, toiletry items, and were appropriately screened for metal items and vegetables wrapped in tin foil. I mean, that pigeon shouldn't even be in the building, much less flying around scott free like that. You know people train pigeons for things...I guess. They are more like flying rats to me, but to each his own. By the time we found our gate and started to relax, I had almost forgotten about that pigeon. Almost forgotten until there he was, strutting around all pigeon style right there at my gate...mocking me and my security concerns. If he flies onto the airplane I'm going to have to take a stand.
