Leaving Viet Nam one time (I was there seeing my wife's family), they selected my flight for pat-downs. They had a guy to pat down guys and a woman to pat down women. But when I got to the front of the queue, the woman gestured to me. I looked at her like "WTF?" but she kept gesturing. I wasn't going to argue, because she had a gun and I didn't, so I went over. I swear that cougar copped a good feel! She didn't pat me down - she groped me all over! Damn corrupt government employees! (I don't think I

More like the *contents* of said six-pack, after it explodes from the pressure difference.

Beer cans do NOT explode on flights. In fact I've been served beer from cans on many flights, and before the current restrictions, often carried 4 or 6 beers in my carry-on luggage.
