Yup... I was profiled coming back from Mexico. Didn't have anything they were looking for. F'em.

Yep me and my friend was searched leaving Morocco because she decided we didn't need to stand in line to get through the last check point. So we were both stopped and "felt up", but not they didn't find anything illegal, but I'm sure they had fun feeling all of our "dirty parts"


Seed Plower
Yes they bloody did.
7 Eastern Europeans that were up there without my knowledge, 16 bottles of Jack Daniels, a rabid dog, half a pack of ciggies and a mars bar.

I had my bag searched. Apparently something in my bag looked like captains wings. I guess they thought I was going to try to dress up like a pilot and steal a plane or something.

Yeah, they found wiring in my bra, but it was a couple of years ago. I think they make plastic wiring for bras these days, because the metal detector doesn't beep anymore.

Mydaughter was searched a year ago she was 13 I was there making sure all was ok. They never said why they searched her but they obviously found nothing and we went on our way.

I was searched at the airport twice now, and the for sme reason thought my pen was a pipe for drugs. i had to wait until they took apart my pen, and examined it, then they two men looking at it, called a collegue to come and double check it, eventually i got my pen back, although i was given no apology for the delay even though i missed my flight due to there 'investigation' of the ball point.

I've had my bags or luggage checked and scanned by hand many time, but never personally / physically searched.

However they did linger and hold me up about my medications that have to take, prescriptions medications,


Phurface
Nope, I show my ID and they leave me alone.

Nope, I never have been personally, but sometimes the security guards had to open my backpack to get a closer look at the items.

yes, this year coming back from hawaii I was patted down very well. for what I don't know. I had practically nothing on! white tank w/ no bra and mini jean shorts and I only weigh a buck ten so it sure didn't look like I was hiding anything! Wouldn't have minded so much if it was a man feeling me up!!!


neshama
no, they didn't.

my whole family was randomly searched when we were on our way to San Francisco. There were three security people and we have 5 luggages for we did not check in. the other lady was complaining why we have a lot of baggage. haha.. she was too lazy to check those bags. they did not find anything. sometimes i'm thinking that we were singled out because we're asians.
