It's going on all the time
I have a friend who is in the airline business who told me of a questionable incident on a recent flight of his. For his security, the details have to remain non-disclosed.
But it is going on all the time.

I like the bacon bits idea.....I’m going to start doing that too.
The orders from day one to the MSM was there will be no terrorist attacks.
Wherever he was; too close for comfort, in any event. . .
Sorry....I just woke drom a nap and missed that.
I was getting ready to board a flight out of Philadelphia the other day and saw something I had never seen before.
The preboarding was taking place when a group of four TSA officials wheeled a metal cart through the crowd and set up an additional security checkpoint right outside the gate. They pulled individuals randomly out of line and started searching their carry on bags.
The first person they pulled out of line was a middle aged, business woman. Come to think of it she kind of looked like Janet Napolitano. Heh.
Has anyone else ever seen this type of additional security scrutiny before?
I am willing to bet that he was released shortly thereafter and was laughing all the way to the mosque!
I’ve seen it. They used to do it all the time. They do it much less frequently now.
Think they’ll mind a whole hamhock?
They might have a bone to pick with that...
Wierd. A synscronistic miss; and a fortuitous one. Or, something else. . .
They have to be made from real bacon. Most are made from soybeans these days.
Obama doesn’t care for any for-profit business to stay profitable.
Yes. Thanks for mentioning it.
I saw an announcement of that on Fox & Friends, I think. It’s some kind of portable scanning device and they said they’d be deployed to a number of airports ASAP. I think it is supposed to check for gunpowder contamination on hands and baggage. I mentioned to my husband that his trap shooting team had better not try to board a plane right after practice!

Let me tell you about my New Year's Day flight from Atlanta to Seattle. We're waiting at the gate area and here comes this (what looked like to me) tall American Black women all bedecked out in the usual female Muslim gear, you know, the silk headscarf and covered from neck to ankle with nice looking clothing (I don't know what they call it). Anyway, she waltzes up to the counter, gets a seat assignment, walks around the whole seating area looking for a seat. She had a tad of an attitude but maybe it was just me. The whole crowd looks like, "Oh Jesus, now what do we do?" Then a bearded Sikh guy (fwiw he "felt" okay, but who knows) waltzes up to the counter with his family - anyway he had that Sikh turban thingy on - and gets a seat assignment.
We just so happen were in the last row of the plane, 44, and the Muslim gal was 3 seats ahead of us, the Sikh guy was 2 seats ahead of us on the other side. I'm wondering, did they both get a crotch search? A total cavity search? I knew they hadn't, so it was tension city all the way to Seattle. Did anyone talk with them, interview them, like the Israelis do? I'm sweating bullets when she went to the bathroom. I know Sikhs don't like Muslims, but thought it was maybe a cover. Their proximity bothered me. I'm 65 but was ready to pounce if need be. I honest to God almost didn't get on the plane.
Anyway, we made it, but unless things change, it's just a matter of time until 300 men, women and children get killed. There were a lot of kids on the plane. . .
Me too. I drove from Maine to Georgia several years ago with my dog. I went on a lot of back roads and saw some beautiful places.
I didn't know to be alarmed (of course) but I still felt weird....they were strange.
I will never know for sure....but it still creeps me out.
