[vpFREE] Re: Had to show cash out of pocket at airport security?

 

The "booth" is a millimeter wave scanner (think "microwave", just a longer wavelength ... it won't pop popcorn). The wave passes through clothing, but is reflected by skin as well as any solid objects in your clothing or otherwise on your person. The image is computer analyzed and those solid objects are flagged on the resultant image.

Like you, I was caught by surprise when returning from a winning NOLA trip upon first adoption of the scanners at MSY. I had well over $10k on my person and had already pushed my bag through for scanning. The operator had me fist the wad, readily visible with my arms stretched over my head, then poked at it with a pencil to satisfy the camera that their was nothing concealed within.

I found myself looking over my shoulder repeatedly until boarding ;)

I now take pains to empty my pockets and place objects into my carry-on well in advance of joining the security line ... saves time for everyone, and lets me deal with cash with a modicum of greater privacy.

Re: [vpFREE] Had to show cash out of pocket at airport security?

 

Mike
That's a great idea. Things have changed a lot since my last flight. In my dusty
memory, stories of BJ teams carrying large sums of cash have had problems with
large sums of cash being seized. They would divide cash up and each player would
carry so much. Who knows what some eager security person might do?


I have heard the machine can actually tell how much cash is in a roll. But I don't
know if that's possible? Just put it in an envelope.. I like it, a simple solution..


Thanks Mike..... Jeep

[vpFREE] Re: Exception to standard deuces while playing NSUD??

 

Jeff, Just what I needed. If I would have checked your post before I flew out, I would saved couple hours searching through old files. Thanks. Just the strategy sheets I made on my
Compaq. My machine is toast now and can't find disk.


Thanks lots.....Jeep

[vpFREE] Re: Exception to standard deuces while playing NSUD??

 

I thank you all for comments. I found some old player sheets. I had a program at one time that printed them. I don't remember for sure, but I think Tom Ski was the one who made it?? Do I remember right?
I did find, before leaving for Vegas, NSUD sheet.


I was at Eastside Cannery for couple days and the only thing to play was FPDW @ .25. I was on memory lane 2 days playing for 3-4 hours. I had more fun @ $1 as in the old days. Later I switched to NSUD and I was glad I picked up on the hold the 2 pair and the 5kd play. Sometime I do consult the cheat sheet.


I liked the E. Cannery rooms, real clean and nice. I have nephew who lives near there. Easy
to visit him. + Sams Town & Fiesta near. I also went down to dam. The bathtub ring 130 feet short on water. Really spooky to me. After a couple days I shot back into Vegas. Cannery is a real laid back local place. The folks running things are nice.


Cheers Jeep

Re: [vpFREE] Had to show cash out of pocket at airport security?

You don't have to show what's in your pockets, just take the stuff out
of the pockets that you're going to be wearing through the x-ray machine
or metal detector.

Get an envelope, put the cash in the envelope and seal it then carry it
in your hand through the x-ray machine or metal detector.

Wear a denim jacket with button pockets, put the cash in the jacket
pocket, button the pocket, take the jacket off and drop it in the bin
that goes through the x-ray machine.

[vpFREE] vpFREE Posting Guidelines - 1 OCT 2015

 

vpFREE Posting Guidelines - 1 OCT 2015

http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/POL_P.htm

1. Everyone should read and be familiar with the vpFREE
FAQ before posting messages on vpFREE Forums.

2. Every message's subject line should accurately identify
the content of the message, to facilitate faster navigation
by interested or uninterested members.

3. If you reply to a message and change the subject matter,
either start a new thread (preferable) with a new subject
line or rename the subject line to reflect its new focus.

4. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the
previous post to maintain continuity. Delete the rest of
the previous post.

5. When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the
previous message(s) from your comments, so that it will be
easy to identify who wrote what.

6. Never post lengthy copyrighted material verbatim without
permission. This includes posts from non-vpFREE internet
forums. Instead, post a link to the material and/or a
summary. Short, credited excerpts may be quoted.

7. Don't use any vpFREE member's real name, even their
first name, on any vpFREE forum unless they themselves use
their real name there.

8. As a spam prevention measure, no one can upload to the
Files Directory on the vpFREE home page unless they get
temporary upload access from the Administrator.

9. Casino personnel probably monitor vpFREE Groups so posts
containing sensitive information should take this into
consideration.

10. Members are expected to observe the rules of
Netiquette , and to practice politeness and show good taste
in their vpFREE posts.

11. Any post that disagrees with vpFREE Dogma and
reaches contradictory conclusions, should be supported with
significant, persuasive documentation. Generalizations and
limited anecdotal evidence aren't persuasive.

12. Most vpFREE members rely on the forum for accurate
information, and may misunderstand, misinterpret or be
confused by tongue-in-cheek posts which are presented as
fact. Always make it very clear in your posts if they are
tongue-in-cheek, by using "smilies", stating that you're
kidding or something similar.

13. Use FREEvpFREE for any political, religious, or smoking
vs. non-smoking discussions. Non-partisan status reports
about smoking and non-smoking availability in casinos are OK
on vpFREE.

14. Promotional Posts - The preferred method for marketing
products and services on vpFREE is an un-obtrusive link
underneath the signature at the end of a post and/or
advertising on the vpFREE Exchange. In addition, a member
may make a maximum of one vp-related promotional post in any
6 month period.

15. If you have Yahoo administrative problems, send a
private email to the Administrator, after you have checked
the vpFREE Yahoo! Administrative Problems Directory.

16. Let the Administrator do the administrating. Send any
comments, questions, suggestions or disagreements about
vpFREE policies or procedures to the Administrator via
private email or post them on FREEvpFREE.
