Lots to do this week.  I’m out at the government labs (PNNL) for some design meetings to help them get the rooms ready for a couple new world class microscopes.

Made it home finally.  Boy was security tight in the Amsterdam airport though.  They’ve moved the security right up to each gate and you have to go through an interview before having your bags and body searched.  That’s been normal fair for that airport for over a year now, but this time it was even tighter than before.

Apparently there was something suspicious about my passport.  The screener didn’t like the feel of it, so I had to sit off to the side for about 20 minutes while a US immigration official came down to have a look.  Once he got there and had a look I was passed through pretty quickly.  But it was still amusing to get pulled out like that for a while.
