Carrying gold or valuables as carry-on

I enjoyed the book “I might as well be naked.” I am a rare coin professional and travel to conventions a few times a year.  A coin dealer I know traveled with a lot of gold coins and requested a private inspection.  He and the inspector went behind the screen, and the inspector said, loudly, “Wow!  Look at all that gold!  I never saw so much gold!”  The dealer said, “thanks, now everyone knows what I have on me!”  GR

The TSA officer was wrong to comment and should have been reported to his/her supervisor.  If tyou are traveling with gold, jewelry or anything valuable, please ask for a private screening and politely ask the TSA officer to be silent during the screening process.
