Ever had to explain to airport security why you're carrying a disembodied torso? Well, buckle up, because this episode takes you through my zany life as a safety instructor on the move, mannequins and all. Picture this: I'm at the San Jose airport, drawing a small crowd as I demonstrate a fire extinguisher simulator – thanks to post-9/11 security, showing off my laser-aiming skills became part of the itinerary. And that's just the beginning. From the bemused glances of TSA agents to the quirky interactions with passengers, each airport becomes a stage for a new act in the comedy of teaching life-saving skills.

But it's not all laughs; sometimes, the stakes are sky-high. Imagine advising a plane's captain on whether to make an emergency landing. That's exactly what happened when my business apparel sparked a conversation and turned me from a simple traveler into an impromptu in-flight medical consultant. Then, there's the time I found myself at the heart of a security breach, a stark reminder that the unexpected is just around the corner. Tune in for these tales and more as we explore the lighter side of emergency response training while never forgetting the serious business of staying safe – whether you're 30,000 feet up or just passing through security.
