[Pearls Before Swine]

I stopped flying when my wife was singled out on two consecutive flights, for elevated screening.

I don't blame you. Any thoughts as to whether it was it just bad luck, or is there some way she stands out, or are you both on some list?

She’s attractive.

We both have clean records. She is business oriented, and doesn’t stand out on other issues.

My participation here would be the only anomaly, if there were one.

Hell, we don’t need them. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

My wife always gets the search, but we know that because she announces she’s going to set off the metal detectors because she has an artificial knee. She’s pretty attractive (in the unlikely event she ever reads this) for her age—late 50’s. So, she always gets the patdown because she doesn’t like the radiation/microwave machines. She says it’s annoying and intrusive, but it hasn’t ever been too over the top. On the other hand, we don’t fly all that much—probably 3 or 4 times most years.
