Hey, it's time for the new puzzler... And since last week's puzzler was so lengthy I'll try to balance things out and make this one short and sweet.

I know our fans don't have a ton of time for this stuff. So, short and sweet it is.

Here it is. 

One of the guys that worked in our shop, Ralph, had to take a little trip on a plane on time years ago. A flight. Probably to avoid prosecution, but that is a detail for another puzzler entirely!

Anyway, Ralph had to leave late on a Friday night at the end of the workday. He was taking a flight to New York to visit a relative and I guess he forgot to bring his change of clothes. So he changed into a crisp new mechanics uniform. Crisp, clean new mechanics uniform like a lot of guys wear in the shop. 

So anyway, he goes to the airport with his work attire on and he buys his ticket, because this was so long ago that you could buy your ticket at the airport... So he has his ticket and he walks to security and goes through the metal detector that they have there. And the metal detector alarm sounds. So the guard goes, "Excuse me, sir, would you kindly empty the contents of your pockets?"

So, Ralph empties his pockets. Puts all his stuff in the little tray. Wallet, keys... everything. And he tries to walk through again. And again, the alarm goes off. So they asked him to remove any jewelry he had or his belt and try to walk through again. He does that and then walks through a third time. And the alarm goes off, for the third time. 

So finally, the guard looks at him and says, "What do you do for a living?"

And Ralph says, "I'm a mechanic, I fix cars."

And the guard says, "Oh, okay. That answers it."

So, what is happening here? And here is a hint, it wasn't just auto repair mechanics that were having this issue. And remember, this was a long time ago, so this issue never happens now. But back when Ralph worked with us at the shop, this was something that happened.

Good luck.
