yes
-
yes i have.
-
Yep, in full dress blues mind you. Freaking dumb@$$ security.
-
No, but a guy undressed me with his eyes at the mall.:)
-
No. Apparently, I am the nondescript Asian guy who looks and seems to be shy, quiet, polite, nonthreatening so no one ever pays attention to me in public unless I do something out there. The way I look and act in public and who I really am inside or to my friends does not correlate at all and people who know me are surprised.
-
Not at the airport, but at the border with Mexico. It was an exhasperating and unnerving experience.
-
If that was Maestrodan it would be like a very high black belt rank but pronounced the same.
-
I did my second time going to the UK, but they were very nice about it and thanked me for my patience :]
-
I was once. It was no big deal.
-
Twice.
-
Yup, just last Saturday morning. TSA was doing random searches at the gate to my plane. I was one of the lucky people who got picked. (I think they picked me because I had a standard back pack, they left my wife alone with her purse and laptop bag.)
-
A lot. I've had a TSA agent at Boston Logan run his hands down my pants. I actually felt violated for a minute or two.
-
Once before, yes.
-
Yes a couple of time but it didn't bother me as i see it as a necessity now a days to keep us as safe as possible:)
-
I've been searched several times. The searches used to be quite cursory and more or less a waste of time, but the last couple have been very thorough and very professionally carried out.
-
I have. It's no big deal.
-
yes and i find it very offensive.
-
Once. When I arrived in Edmonton, Canada. They questioned me for about 15 minutes and searched through all of my luggage.
-
All the time......I think they have a quota to meet.........
-
For a good three years I was checked almost every time I traveled....my parents lived on opposite coast and were in ill health...I would purchase last minute tickets, sometimes not having a return date....so those are two flags on me....it never bothered me though....I would joke around while it was going on....
-
No I have never been searched :)
-
Yes I have and it was no big deal because I fully cooperated. I did not understand why, but I saw them doing it to many others so I was not upset.
-
Yes. I'm glad they do it. I'm not sure why some people get so upset about security checks. I would rather be inconvenienced for a few moments than them not check.
-
All the time. I was frequently stopped because I fitted the outdated 1960's profile (tall, thin, blond, and well-off looking with the 'right' accent). They only changed this in the late 1980's so I was stopped every time up until then.
-
Never!!
-
No, but I remember my Granddad used to get searched all the time. He does look incredibly suspicious though, so I don't blame them.
-
No! I don't get it either. I'm a big scary lookin guy too. I remember after one trip I had partied almost non-stop for the last couple of weeks and I had started to neglect my appearance. I already have a goatee, but when combined with the scraggly beard that I was generally too intoxicated to shave off, my Peruvian ancestry, and the look of a man who had consumed more hard liquor than water for a few days, I suppose I could have been mistaken for a disgruntled bomb jockey. Not even a second look. It's like they KNOW me *shiver*
-
Yeah. For some reason, my Playstation 3 looked funny on the XRay machine. The guy opened the bag and starred at it like it with a look on his face that seemed to say "What the hell is that?"
-
no,
-
NOT RANDOMLY, WHEN YOUR GLOBAL COMMAND
-
Yes, but I don't think it was random. I flew into Washington, DC for an event. I've flown there several times. This particular time I happened to be flying in and out on two different one-way tickets, as opposed to a round-trip ticket like the other times. I was "randomly" searched both times through security.
-
No.
-
Yes. I probably fit the profile of smuggling drugs or something.
-
Yes, inside and out, for everything bad. All I had on me that made them go crazy was change.
-
I was searched and detained In Cardiff (CWL) for nothing,,I stil dont know why that happened,,,but after an hour i was let go and was able to have my hols.
