[nagdu] Clarifications

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Bobby,

Then I am sincerely sorry for you. Whenever I go through the detector in 
this fashion, Lexia does not set it off or cause us to get a pat down. In 
the few cases that I did, it was something about me (watch, hair brets, 
etc), not the dog. I am done talking about this topic, both on and off list, 
and particularly with you.
