(Phoenix, AZ) High School sophomore and band member Hunter Casey, who plays the trumpet, has had a crush on fellow band member and flutist Rebecca Lyons for over a year. But because he's a shy kid and that Rebecca is always hanging out with the tuba player Toby McCalister, he's hasn't made an inch of headway. But over this past weekend, Casey made some giant strides.

What Rebecca or anyone didn't know was that earlier this year Hunter had been visited by the Crank Fairy. "When I first woke up and saw it, I knew it was special. I knew it was my calling card," said Casey. But what Hunter didn't know, was how to use it in order to be able to use it.  

Hunter Casey's luck changed when he found out two things: one, the band would be traveling to Portland, Oregon to support his school's basketball team in a regional tournament, and two, the band would be flying out of Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, which is the testing ground of a new Transportation Security Administration screening system called the Backscatter, which takes X-rays of passenger's bodies. "I knew that besides dropping a towel in front of Rebecca, this was my chance," said Casey.

So Casey put a big plan into motion. To keep Toby McCalister busy, Casey told him that there was a free buffet somewhere in the airport. This gave Casey the chance to position himself in front of Rebecca. "It was working great. Rebecca and I were having a great time talking about jazz and the TV show Heroes. I even told her that I was special too," said Casey. "But then the whole thing almost blew up in my face."

What Hunter Casey didn't realize was that the TSA only uses the Backscatter for passengers who fail the standard screening process. But thinking fast, the kid stuffed loose change into his pockets, socks and shoes. He failed the standard screening and was sent to the Backscatter. There Casey positioned himself to make sure Rebecca would hear the results.

"OH MY GOD was the first thing I heard from the TSA lady," said Rebecca "Then came the words...FOOTLONG... COKE...and CAN. I looked at Hunter, who was looking at me with this cocky smile. Then I caught a glimpse of the X-ray and fainted."

Even though the TSA cleared Casey, they're still a little irked. "We did not develop the Backscatter in order to help some 15 year-old lose his virginity," said TSA head Kip Hawley "The time we wasted on Mr. Casey is time that could have given a terrorist a chance to slip past us with an explosive."

"It would have been totally worth it," said Casey "Because Rebecca and I and going to movies this weekend." "And," added Rebecca. "We're going to sit in the very back corner."
