I had the exact same thing and I'm sure it was because of my stunning beauty. A black guy with Lieutenant bars told me to "come see me" when I get all my stuff pushed through the scanner. At that point, he said to remove my belt and empty my pockets, "yes that's right, take your belt off and put it in a tray" I had to put my passport, wallet, $600 in cash and my boarding pass in this bowl. Of course, coming out the other end, the flaps caused some of my stuff to scrape out of the bowl and onto the rollers. There was some guy waiting for his shit, but he was handling my stuff which was being pushed by his.
So, I could see all this when I stepped into the transporter. The guy on the other side was barking commands; put your feet here, stretch your arms out like this, etc. Then, I didn't do it and he got immediately hostile. I said: you mean now? He said to me, YOU GOT A PROBLEM? I said no, no problem and did as commanded, but I was still watching this other dude playing with my personal stuff in the bowl. While I am reasonably sure he was just putting it back, it was very distracting because when in the transporter, it's round and plexiglass and all eyes are on me and my circumsized penis and I see that all eyes are on me.
An arm sweeps across the front, maybe in back as well, but I can't see that. Then, instructed to step out of the booth, the guy says, I have instructions to pad down your arms and upper torso, hold your arms straight out...maybe he said please, but I don't remember that?
Then he found a piece of paper in my left shirt pocket that I had missed, when I emptied my pockets on the other side. He said we need to wait until he gets the all clear signal, which happened shortly. (edit: it was my parking stub)
I can tell you this. It is nerve wracking to be singled out for this public humiliation just because we are beautiful. I was pissed at the TSA and all fucking Arabs, equally, for several minutes afterwards.
Thank God! We don't need to fly nude, they have found a way around it!
Good hunting. LB

email I got last week:
Subject: Fw: Romance novel material
He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone.
He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear. "Just relax."
Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.
When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage.. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties.
Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking "No" for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say ... "Okay ma'am," said a voice, "All done."
My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling, holding out my purse. "You can board your flight now."

![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) , damn, after reading that I'm anxious to hear from my wife who flew out today headed to Calif. with her mom. Wonder if she got frisked or not.
Some people might fly more often if they got to read that "pat down" discription. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Is it hunting season yet? I hate summer!

The outrageous things travelers have to do to satisfy this security stuff could be greatly reduced if they would just profile. To hell with politically correct.
This happened on a previous trip but I still can't get over it. I failed to buy the tiny tubes of toothpaste, so, in a rush, I had a regular size tube that was three quarters collapsed. I put it in my pant pocket when I went through the metal detector. They didn't detect it.
So, when I was returning home, I had the opportunity to buy the small tubes but being a thrifty sort, I still had that almost flat tube in my kit. This guy calls me over and asked me if this was my bag? I admitted it was and didn't have a clue what they were concerned about? He found what he wanted right away, that almost flat tube. He said it was 10.XX ounces of toothpaste and I couldn't proceed unless I surrendered it.
By this time, I thought it was humorous, and could care less if they took the tube, but I said to the guy, "Hey, it's almost empty!"
He replied: I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT, SIR. This guy doesn't know the difference between a full 10 ounce tube of Crest, and an almost flat tube that probably had less than an ounce in it.
And we just go along with all of it. They have signs that tell ya that if you give any of them any lip, they can and will gladly prevent you from flying.
Then there is that Bull Dyke in charge of Homeland Security. Napolitano is an idiot, always one step behind the terrorists' methods. Any American of mideastern extraction that travels to Pakistan (for instance) needs to provide a very good explanation, thereafter. A Polish Catholic traveling to Hawaii on vacation is hardly in the same catagory. Or a hunting trip to Canada, for that matter. Have these people lost their minds?

If we ran TSA like the Israeli's run their operation, and political correctness be damned, we wouldn't have this problem.

Perhaps they did and you fit the profile. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Been on a few planes in the last couple of years and even had my hunting camo's on for one trip. No problems except for a bic lighter i forgot about. They gave it back to me right away so I could toss it in the no fly box..LOL
On my last trip they where more concerned about the inside of my hard gun-case. Funny thing was they looked through the whole case and under the foam but no-one bothered to look down the barrel....

Oh, that reminds me! What the hell was this thing about "bullet primers" exploding and they arrested the guy that had the luggage. They must have severely manhandled his bags for them to go off?
Anyway, is it illegal to have primers in your luggage? What makes them dangerous and not loaded ammunition?
Good hunting. LB

Yup. thats kinda screwed up like our nite hunting law for the use of lights.
If lights are used you have to have a shotgun. If you hunt without a light and just use the moon you can use a rifle..
