I still think she's an idiot, I'm sorry, but anyone who has been anywhere near a plane since the big TSA push knows that they are always anxious for a new exciting situation. Out of pure humility, (if I were skewered beyond my ears), I would never even risk getting myself in that situation. I think she was only embarrassed because they weren't real gold.
