Returning from Oshkosh 2019 (“AirVenture” has not quite captured the imagination), while going through security at the Appleton, Wisconsin, airport (KATW), the TSA officer asked me if I had cheese or sausage in my carry-on. I must have given a quizzical look and the officer said: “Oh that’s a Wisconsin thing.”

Well, we all had a good laugh about that.
