Should we all consider switching over to private screenings as well...
A good question but we've been watching others getting searched at checkpoints for years and anybody who asks "Wonder what s/he did wrong" hasn't flown very much.

I'd hope an increase in people being publicly searched might raise another better question: "Wonder what's the problem with this whole TSA procedure?" @:-)
