I ' m back in Texas . I 'll be here for the week . Almost missed my flight this afternoon ( seems like I do that often ) , but it was n't my fault . When I checked in for my 4:20 PM flight they said it was delayed until 7PM , so I was hanging out downstairs near the outside so I could smoke . Then all of a sudden I noticed that the board now said ON TIME -- yikes . I rushed through the security checkpoint , was stopped and had my purse searched .
Question: Why was I stopped by security ?
The answer to the above question:


I ran right through the checkpoint .
