Hah. Some of the screeners seem utterly perpplexed by those wands... when I was in Bradley (and was randomly searched, ahem), they wanded in front of my chest and it beeped at my sternum. I haven't the faintest idea WHY. No necklace/chain, no tattoo, no pacemaker... but it repeatedly beeped at my chest. I had no explanation. Of course, they let me on the plane.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

What's your half-vast theory on why the same American white guy is randomly searched?

Coincidence and/or bureaucratic stupidly, but not a conspiracy against this individual.

[mountaineer]

You're probably right.

[logician2u]

Paranoia is just one of the many consequences when one's country proclaims that we are at war on an undefined enemy.

Our country's real enemies must be ROTFLOL.

[packrat35]

Jeez that photo pisses me off. I mean, why can't EVERYONE see that search is just plain wrong.

[Eala]

An interesting poll would be: Which would make you feel safer flying:
a) current random search program;
b) automatic search of every Arab male aged 15-45.

b.

Maybe the tin foil is setting all the scanners off.

Everyone needs to remember that the man responsible for this fiasco is President Bush. The buck stops with him. These idiotic policies and the idiot (Norm Mineta) who enforces them is there by the pleasure of GW Bush. If it was that important to actually check Muslims and Arabs, Bush would have made it so. It is clear Bush cares more for PC and polls than actually making our country safe.

I'm looking for the true "champion" as much as the next Patriot. If you find him, let us know.

The reason I have been flagged doesn’t matter.

What an odd thing to say.  For all we know,
you may be a hijacker who has done his time,
in which case flagging is perfectly acceptable.
