The phos is a little ridiculous...

Headed to Chicago now for a seminar. 3am is early, not a fan. Also it'll be the first time away from the family (for more than a work day) since they were in the hospital a year ago. That'll be a new experience. I like putting the baby to bed.

But I should come home to nem deliveries from @Battlecorals and @Reefing_addiction, so that's exciting!

I give my thanks to Petco for suppling me with bags and jersey corals for suppling me with this very perfectly size shipping container.

Triple bagged because safety in numbers.
 
TSA navigated.
Agent: ok you can keep these, but you need to go through extra screening.
Me: deal.
Turns out extra screening is just another round in the X-ray and wiping down my cary on with one of those ballistics swabs.

Wait so you flew with the corals??

Are they going to mutate after going through the xray machine??

Haven't flown yet. Technically. Still at the gate.

Process was like this:
Told the agent to hand screen cuz live animals and can't x-ray. They get 3 to 4 others to poke around the bag, somewhat unsure what do do in this situation (or at least that's how it seemed). Rescan me and poke through my other bag. Check watch 3 to 4 times while I put myself back together, like it's 359 and they get off at 4, and now because of me have 10 minutes of paperwork.
 
TSA showed up last night and confiscated him but left the corals.
