Departing from CDG yesterday.

i am going through the very long and slow line to airport security.
At CDG it involves the usual hassle, take out computer, take off belt, take off jacket, long discussions with security personnel about this and that.
All very tense and hectic.
I finally get to the xray machines--and go through the motions of remove jacket/sling the plastic containers, push bags, haul this and that, and then waiting as the security person in front of x-ray machine proceeded to take a small used tissue from his back pocket and blow his nose violently four times into the shredded tissue, each time expelling material from his nostrils.Right in front of me.
He replaced the used tissue into his pocket, and then held out the same hand he had just used for blowing his nose, and said, "Passport".
Thinking of swine flue, germs, colds, and whatever was in in the tissue, I stood there for a second, wondering whether to ask him to sanitize his hands before he grabbed my passport...and stood there kind of stupefied (I had already been grossed out as he blew his nose right in front of me)...
He said disdainfully, OK, if you don't want to hand me your passport you can stand over there, indicating that I would be to the side of the line.
I of course quickly handed over the passport, thinking that, a, he hated his job and all it entailed, and b, had great disdain for flyers. Ugh.
Flying/security if bad enough without this.
Earlier, from SFO to CDG, once more going through security (so called) at SFO, as all the convicts..err... PAX were going through the motions of undressing, hauling the plastic containers, following the line, going into zen mode to deal with it, then a young 'security' person came marching through the throng holding aloft a plastic container of peanut butter (did not catch the brand or whether it was creamy or chunky (ha).."Anyone who has peanut butter in their luggage, take it out now, we just confiscated this peanut butter from a passenger" he said with a flourish and show of power.
I am not making this up. So...someone can what, smear an FA with peanut butter and hold up a plane? Has no-one in Paris heard that there is maybe a swine flu pandemic? Or discussed some kind of health considerations.
Yikes...this is nuts (peanuts).
