was at airport this morning with stuff I am used to traveling with and got pulled aside for a "strip search" or "special screening" I had a laptop, video camera, and computer cables... nothing unusual about that stuff.... also a small electronic screwdriver set... I also took a shortwave radio and scanner radio plus a power inverter.. take off my shoes... I said htey were brand new.... had to take them off anyway I have a letter in process to complain as this does not make me safe it makes me feel uncomfortable that they feel the need to do this to everyone JOHN |

it makes me feel uncomfortable that they feel the need to do this to everyone Welcome to air transportation for the new millenium. If you carry electronic devices you must expect to be subject to additional screening. Same goes depending on your gender/age/ethnicity, or if you are flying on a one-way ticket, you may be subject to more inspection than a seventy years old grandmother. It's a sign of the times, don't take it personally. |

Do you actually know what a "strip search" is? I had a laptop, video camera, and computer cables... nothing unusual about that stuff.... also a small electronic screwdriver set... I also took a shortwave radio and scanner radio plus a power inverter.. take off my shoes... I said htey were brand new.... had to take them off anyway What does the age of the shoe have to do with anything? I have a letter in process to complain as this does not make me safe it makes me feel uncomfortable that they feel the need to do this to everyone Your letter is going to get NO action. |

I've been properly strip searched in an airport, and I can assure you it involves taking off a lot more than your (new or otherwise) shoes. Hopefully whomever you complained to will tell you to **** off. |

I even took a pocket knife and a swiss army pen (my james bond pen) coincidentally they showed a James Bond movie on the flight complaining is my right as this is supposed to be a DEMOCRACY, not a dictatorship. also, I am getting on an airplane, not going to jail or prison or visiting someone in such facility.

If you have oil coming out of your car, you might have blown a gasket. complaining is my right as this is supposed to be a DEMOCRACY, not a dictatorship. The US is not a democracy, it is a republic. If you don't have that answer straight, then that will lead to confusion. I suggest you read something like this article: http://www.thisnation.com/question/011.html also, I am getting on an airplane, not going to jail or prison or visiting someone in such facility. So complain to your congressman. You act like this is some new treatment. This has been going on for years. |

You're absolutely right: you have a right to complain loud and long. But that same right allows us to tell you we think you're full of ****. also, I am getting on an airplane, not going to jail or prison or visiting someone in such facility. Make too much of a fuss in the line and maybe you'll get to visit a jail. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Hopefully whomever you complained to will tell you to **** off. Of course since the introduction of Hooter Airlines, maybe the concept of a "strip search" isn't such a bad thing. |

He also carries a "James Bond Pen" and a pocketknife. I would also guess he carries chewing gum and bailing wire. |
