Kent Slimm, welcome to FlyerTalk and Happy New Year! FlyerTalk has an entire forum devoted to Airport/airline security: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...-security-222/

Please check out this forum and feel free to join a thread most relevant to your inquiry. If you have (a) specific airport(s) in mind, feel free to ask there about security screening. If you're interested in airline security on a single carrier, FlyerTalk's dedicated forum for that airline would be the best place to discuss. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
