The thing that annoys me is that I sat there in line for about an hour waiting or them to do...what, exactly? If stopping people with 7" screwdrivers and industrial scissors isn't part of their job, why even bother?
The worst part is that they did a residue sweep on the bag. Heaven forbid I had a little chemical leftover in there. Half dozen sharp tools and a couple wire strippers, though, go for it! Not like I could hand them out and arm all of first class. |

When I moved to Atlanta, my Xone:62 and a CDJ-800 were my carry-on items. They didn't even do a residue sweep on that nor did they open my bags, just let 'em through as though my bags were full of clothes. |

I'm more troubled that you were in the security line for an hour. I really don't understand how people end up being in security lines for so long amounts of times? I think the longest I've ever been in one is 25 minutes. I always get to the airport 60 minutes before my plane takes off, and I have no issues waiting in a long line. |
IAH terminal C. Worst security line anywhere. So. ing. Slow. |

A few years ago I was going through Atlanta, their candy shop had a whole stack of watermelon laffy taffy (with the little chocolate 'seeds' in it), since its impossible to find in Louisville I stocked up. I was waiting in the security line nomming on one of the taffy bars when the security agent asks me to take the candy out of my mouth and put it on the belt for x-raying.
I looked at him incredulously and asked him if he was being serious. He said yes, then snatched the candy from my hand and put it on the belt. I went through the metal detector and the security guard gave me back my candy after the part I had been eating touched on the belt. I said 'no thanks' and walked off. |

Hahahaha, oh man. When I left Bas and his lady's place last year, I was so hungover/still up from partying and had a full on brain cloud at the airport. The dudes scanning my whispered something to each other and nodded, then pulled my suitcase aside and asked me what I had in there. I was ting my pants thinking "Wtf, did Bas slip some drugs in there thinking I would be surprised when I got home??!! Wtf!!" So I honestly answered that I had a lot of shoes, clothes, and my flat iron. And so the one dude starts going through my case, and I'm crapping my pants, and he pulls out my shampoo and conditioner and says "Well what's THIS then?" LOL.
In my fog I totally forgot that I was supposed to check my bag instead of carry it on.
:o :o :o :o :o |
Good thing I put those drugs in your anus then. |

eeeewwwwww :eek:
all governments focus a lot on the "premise of security";
that is, what appears to be secure (lots of lights, goons in uniforms, equipment, weapons, signs, etc) |
