It's not that bad. it's impossible to keep your eyes on your stuff if you go through a body scanner and it may not be possible if you go into the glass booth for a patdown. sometimes the tsa does not like when passengers demand that their belongings be within their sight. there's even a post on flyertalk about someone who was sent to the glass booth and while he was there being patted down, he saw his laptop taken by someone *else*.

It doesn't matter what they like; it's a matter of your rights and your personal property. I know my attorney would be the first thing I'd make mention of in such circumstances. >there's even a post on flyertalk about someone who was sent to the >glass booth and while he was there being patted down, he saw his laptop >taken by someone *else*. Maybe. I don't know why anyone would need a pat-down if they'd adhere to the rules and request and put objects into the bins. Anyway, this is way off the topic of depriving hotels of their fees for wireless internet. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.

For one who has never gone through the procedure you seem to think you know a lot. Sorta like our John NavASS. Forget it, sheesh! |
