In retrospect....

VIENNA, Austria - Austrian authorities said they arrested a man Monday after he tried to enter the U.S. Embassy in Vienna carrying a backpack with explosives. The man tried to flee after his backpack triggered metal detectors at the embassy entrance. He was arrested nearby and was being questioned.

So I guess I'm pretty glad that I had to go through all the hassle to NOT bring my purse to the US Embassy.
