I understand that it's for safety purposes. I understand the need to step up security after 9/11. That's why I was more than happy to oblige, but this woman was just unbelieveable. I was answering her questions, I was doing exactly what she told me to do, but she kept accusing me of lying to her and trying to hide things from her. I eventually had to pull my pockets inside out to prove that I wasn't lying to her about them. The only thing that I wasn't entirely cooperative with was turning around and facing the lineup of passengers with my pants totally open. When I asked if I could do up my pants before turning around, she said no and grabbed my arm and turned me around. By the time I left that checkpoint, she practically had me convinced that I was a criminal and doing something horribly wrong.
And as for my belt, I have worn that belt tons of times through security and never once had that much of a problem with it. I have had to undo it before, but never my pants as well and i was always allowed to do it up before turning around.

Ugh. Just reading that annoys me.
If there was any justice in this world you would run into her on the street and get to tell her what a pig she is.
Anyone ever been to Puerto Vallarta? You could smuggle a well armed elephant into that town. Stroll through some ancient,, and I doubt working, metal detector and then push some doorbell style button to see if you get the luck of the draw to be searched. It's totally random. Then when you leave you get to walk across the runway. I'll tell ya, there are few things on earth as pleasant as standing on the tarmac in 30 degree heat after a week of Mexican boozing and fooding.
