You may have come under scrutiny as you had booked one way.

Recently the my kids (11 and 12) had to fly to Florida on short notice for a Funeral. Booked the tickets on Tuesday and flew on Wednesday. All three of us got wanded and shoed.

I'm sure the one-way ticket added to the problems.

I think the thing that irritated me the most was that after I took off my shoes and got up to be wanded, someone was already rummaging through my carry-on items without me standing by to observe - at all three airports. I suppose we are expected to automatically trust these folks simply because they have on a uniform and are federal workers, but I think most of us know better.

Amazing how new phrases just kind of infiltrate the language, but just about every flyer in the US knows exactly what that means, LOL!
