Oh, I got the reference. I guess by subscribing to a thread to try to get some info as to what was really going on means one should expect to get covered/////// with//// motor///// oil/// lots of specious spurious email.

So the TSA has gotten more foreign carriers to have more gate screening checks -- mainly an increase at foreign carriers' home country airports. Not surprisingly, most of those hassled by this are those coach passengers without priority boarding privileges on the carriers with these questionable gate searches at the gate.
For amusing theatrical example, guess what happens at various EU airports with these latest theatrical measures, iPhones or Samsung smart phones or phablets secreted on person post-primary-security-screening checkpoint but prior to the gate screening? They often get missed because the obsession is about rummaging through the carry-on bags.
