Security Guard - Then they'll have to be removed. Owner - What?! I can't remove his horse shoes! Security Guard - Remember the horse shoe bomber? We can't be too careful. Has this animal be away from your person at any time? Are you hiding something, Sir? Owner - Oh, for the love of Pete, NO. If I was trying to hide something, do you think I'd be so conspicuous to go walking thru a security gate at an airport with a miniature horse?! Security Guard - That's it. I'm calling the FBI ... *speaking into walkie talkie* John? Rick here. I'll need some backup, a paddy wagon and some horse manacles, please.
