I know sooooo many people would " rather be safe " and therefor are fine with any delay, indignity, etc. they have to endur to be safe but sometimes..... Let me say, I've had knee replacements for thirty years and have always lite up metal detectors since before TSA. Once they wanted me to drop my drarwers in the middle of the airport! ( like that was going to happen ). Today, I went back outside for a smoke , came back and lite up the X-ray machine ( didn't do that the first time thru ). He asked me to turn around and see that my wrist and groin came up hot. Now, I've had my junk felt up before by these people and I can live with it but I hate when common sense is ignored. I asked if my wrist liters up and I am wearing no jewelry and I have a short sleeve shirt on, doesn't that mean the machine is wrong ? Well??? " look, all I know is that if the machine liters up, you're getting a pat down !" So , for the 100 th time, I had my junk shifted around by the back of some stranger's hand.
Meanwhile they asked the guy in front of me to empty his pockets. He pulled out a huge roll of cash in both hands. So much that he was dropping cash on the floor. I asked why they didn't at least ask him some questions and was told he was allowed ten thousand dollars cash. I asked how much do you think he was carrying and was ignored. These rolls had to be 3 inches across. If it was me, I would at least have taken the opportunity to feel his junk ! It's only fare !!
