I was just back scattered for the first time. I wanted to ask for the grope and make orgasm sounds, but the line was super long and I didn't know that anyone would appreciate it.

If you walk around the museum at the space center in Fla you'll see a space suit with my client's logo on it. great marketing, low returns on sales, but they like it.

SFO doesn't use the machines yet, so I wasn't scanned leaving, but I came back via Los Angeles and LAX had them.

Congratulations on having a client with a logo on a space suit in the space center in Florida!
