Even this is not always true. On one flight both my toddler son and I were selected for additional screening while my wife was bypassed.

On my only 2 flights since the foreign terrorist attack I was chosen for additinal screening both ways. I think it's the mustache. Go clean shaven and they'll probably never bother you. :)

UPDATE: I just got back from lovely San Antonio, Tx. That was my first time in the Lone Star State and the weather was beautiful. I was all prepared for additional screening at O'hare. I've begun to think of myself as sort of an outlaw rockstar or something. Anyway, nobody looked at me twice. I was secretly disappointed.

At the San Antonio airport I figured they'd get me. I even bought Starbucks and a brownie before entering the screening area. And I made sure they put the brownie in a paper bag just to make it look more suspicious. As I entered the security line the lady told me, no, ORDERED me to take my shoes off. Then she told me to put that suspicious paper bag in a bowl and send it through the xray machine. I almost kidded around with her about the brownie, then didn't.

I thought about this later and realized how much trouble that would've meant. You can't kid around about such serious matters as brownie bombs while in the security screening lines at airports; they don't think it's funny. This was one of the few times in my life I left my humor in check and actually followed instructions.

I passed through with no incident and I guess I'm really not on any most wanted list or anything. Now I'm just a regular guy again on the lookout for people like YOU, who need additional screening.

Heh heh. That is just what they want you to believe. Like the old Gahan Wilson cartoon with the toys and stuffed animals in the attic, "One day, when he's old and feeble, he'll be in a nostalgic mood, and he'll come up here to see us again, and to reminisce--and then we'll get him!"

I think I figured it out. I was a Democrat when I went to Vegas last month, but last week I converted to Republicanism.:approve:

bah-it could be worse..a lot worse. Although i'm only 15, they decided that i would go into the 'naughty room' in the airport. Here i had to wait an hour, then i was questioned. Then finally the decided that a kid from the uk probably wasn't a terroist, they let me go, by which stage i'd missed my taxi... I wouldn't mind, except they were very rude (yelling at some poor philpino guy for sleeping after a 15 hour filght) and didn't seem to care about i how i felt. (It probably would of helped if i hadn't forgotten my age in the panic)
