Maybe he liked you? I got searched a lot at the airports when flying to Europe but it was because my belt always set off the metal detectors.

It was three different people. Otherwise, that'd be the case, cause I'm smokin hot.
The first time, there were two lines. The guards would 'randomly' select people to go into the 'ultra-super-duper search' line. I always take off most of my stuff before going to an airport because I have enough metal on to make a dectector explode (metal studded belt, rings, jewelry of all sorts, pins, steel toed boots). In the line, I went through a detector, my bags went through the X-ray, I was then checked over with a metal detector wand, and my bags were gone through and shoes seperatly looked over. These things (the wand and the bag search) were the ones repeated twice more.
I do like this explination though... I must simply stop being so sexy. xD
It depends why. Really... if they searched you three times, because they weren't well-connected between themselves, then it's bad. If they did it out of security concerns (whatever those may be, neither you or me are to judge), then it's alright. Not 'Yay, I got searched three times!' kind of alright, but the 'Meh.' kind. Always keep in mind they're just doing their job, which is essential, and for your own good, and others'. Be polite and cooperative, and it's likely to be smoother and faster for all concerned (no dirty thoughts, chums).You don't see a problem with them searching the same person three times?

I don't see how can there be any 'concern' left after two thorough searches.
I can't think of too many, either, as three searches seem a bit too much for me as well. But, suppose there are, and several searches are to be carried out in every different section of the terminal, prior to the plane-boarding, to assure nothing... bad happens.I don't see how can there be any 'concern' left after two thorough searches.

The airport security isn't a bad idea, but there are a lot of holes in it. A lot of the employees are doing things like what happened to TheAbominatrix and racial profiling is rampant. Prevention of terror should know no distinction. I don't think the random searches are too effective, after all, what are the chances that if you randomly search one person out of fifty, you're going to find the terrorist? Not that great. I favor increased security in other areas.
That I fully agree with. I mean, I dont really think the terrorists would do the same thing twice, but if they're gonna increase security, they should do it right.Originally Posted by Behold the Void
I'm more concerned at the fact that they're all but ignoring so many other venues and concentrating their efforts on airports. My friend lives near a resevoir, and the security there is limited to a barbwire fence. Easily passed, easily saturated with dangerous chemicals. We need to be mindful of other means, and be willing to admit that we can't watch everything.
That has to be the most narrowminded comment I've seen posted on this message board in my 2 years here. You're not all knowing, sorry to break the news to you, and you arn't better than me.
What 'lesson' was it supposed to teach me? "OMG BE AFRAID OF FLYING WITH SKERRY ARAB PEOPLE!"? Umm no, sorry, not happening.
And I never said I was against being searched. I'm talking about the whole racial profiling part of it and arresting people for no substancial reason, and personally I don't give a trout how dumb you may think I am. Just quite the whole self righteous kick now please. Besides you need your head checked if you think all these checks are gonna keep terrorist from killing people. All this is doing is causing more control through fear. I mean, now all they have to do is blow up the planes while they're still their at the airport and they kill all the people being held up in the airport because of the damn searching! Way to convinience the terrorist objectives, huh!
See I'm smart and can come up with theorys on terrorist ideals too! YAY!
I like Kung-Fu.
I'm against selecting people based on race (though, people from Arab countries SHOULD be kept under closer watch, 'cause guess what, 99% of the terrorists so far have been Arabs. And that's a simple, un-deniable fact), and I think EVERYONE should be searched and gone through the same procedures. But getting all bitchy, 'cause precious you got searched, and your luggage scanned... that's just wrong, and without proportion.I'm talking about the whole racial profiling part of it and arresting people for no substancial reason,
Yes, me, and all the rest of the terror experts, who seem to think differently, and have had decades of experience the problem. But you know better!Besides you need your head checked if you think all these checks are gonna keep terrorist from killing people.
Not nearly, but this is an area that I can say I know quite a bit about.You're not all knowing,
No, the lesson is that there are dangers out there, and being American doesn't make you impervious to them. That in order to keep you safe, and everyone else safe as well, some (minor) sacrifices of convenience have to be made. And that price really is pretty damn low, for the conservation of life.What 'lesson' was it supposed to teach me? "OMG BE AFRAID OF FLYING WITH SKERRY ARAB PEOPLE!"? Umm no, sorry, not happening.
I don't debate with dumb people. And believe me, there are quite a few that I don't debate with, 'cause they are.I don't give a trout how dumb you may think I am

Strider asked that I close this because certain people have caused this conversation to degenerate into childish attacks. Good job, guys.
