It was sitting on the TSA desk. It was sitting up on the desk. You walked by. We had video of you just walking by looking at it and then grabbing it. How did you know it wasn't one of the people that were right there in that the area? You didn't you didn't look anywhere inside of the checkpoint to see if there was somebody. And it it just doesn't it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't add up. There's no logic to it. >> Sorry, sir. >> No, you're fine. Okay. All right. Yeah, the watch and everything? >> Yeah, she's got it. So she's happy. So good. >> All right. Can you turn around for me? >> go ahead. Go ahead. >> Turn around. >> Put this down. >> Okay. Turn around. Turn around. Put your hands on the desk.
