[quote:monkeydog:MV8xNTQyNDI4XzI1NDc1OTA3Xzg5M0QwMzVF] I recently flew with my family I went through the detector after everyone else in my party. There was no beep, but I was instructed to stand in a little box. I calmly asked the agent what was going on and he told me I had been randomly selected for a search. I told him I did not want to be separated from my family. This has worked for me a couple of weeks ago when flying alone with my son. interesting that I have been "randomly" selected on my last 2 flights... Anyway didn't work this time. I was patted down thoroughly, but did not receive the enhanced version Being a civil-libertiestard, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. When he asked "do u have anything in your pockets" I replied "no. not even my civil rights" He shrugged it off and said "I don't like this either, but I have to do it." I replied "it's still wrong" He then told me about his experience as a soldier and being patted down as well. I replied "that too was wrong, but were you frisked like a criminal in front of your wife and kids?" He did not reply and completed everything professionally and courteously My family, who know me well, were pretty sure I was going to get arrested, but I didn't. Moral of the story? I don't know. I had a benign experience with a pro, he didn't touch my junk, and he put up with my little comments In the end, though, I still felt angry, embarrassed and violated. Oh and for all you rackets, he was black. This happened in Texas, btw. [/quote]
