Going to Prayer, don't go with luggage

I was suddenly in front of machine guns. I had a meeting on Friday morning and as I arrived to my car which was parked in the downtown I decided to catch Friday prayer in Alomary mosque in the downtown of Beirut. I walked in casually with my bad that had the laptop inside and was walking into the mosque. The army security at the door was in shock, at my behavior. I was walking into the mosque with a bag and with no care in the world. I was asked to have the bag inspected thoroughly. I almost missed the prayer time for him to check the bag. This was my first experience of the sort in a mosque, it was quite annoying, but understandable.
