Carol asked if we had to take our prayer cap off and take out the pins in our hair when we went into the prison. When we got to the prison they sent out purses through a metal detector and we had a walk through. Michael's girl friend did not set it off, but I did. When I broke my leg a couple of years ago, they put in a medal plate - that set the detector off. The man got a hand held detector and ran it up and down - when he hit my leg - that set it off, so the man asked me to lift my shirt part of the dress. The hand held detector went off at the leg, He let me go through.
The man asked us to take off our prayer cap. He said if a lady were there, she would probably feel our hair. He ran the and metal detector around our heads. The pins did not set it off. He did look inside our prayer caps. He let us through.
I think the fact that there was a plate between us and we spoke on the phone let us through. If we were in a room with her, I think they may have asked us to take the pins out.
What was funny is when my purse went through. The man turned to me and said in a question tone, you are a mother. I said yes how did he know. Well he said, you have a pack of kleenex,, band-aides, sewing kit, tooth picks and I don't know what all.
I hope I answered your question.

Odd about Anna's purse.
Thanks for the info, Anna.
Also, remember Marilyn- age is only a number. In God's "grand scheme of things", age is only a "drop in the bucket"in comparison to eternity.
Blessings everyone+y'all have a Blessed Thanksgiving Day🤗🙏 Carol L

Hello William,
Mom's sometimes carry in their purses more than
other women don't.
