2) My FT handle leaves little guessing as to my identity
3) I post frequently about experiences at CMH
4) I have never been selected at BOS (yet)
Does anyone know if a list like that exists? Is there a clue or signal I should be watching for between the TDC and the (always male) screener who gives me the dreaded, "Are you wearing a belt? Do you have anything in your pockets?" line?
I am just trying to figure out why I am so frequently picked at CMH, and ONLY at CMH. I suppose it is possible that the screeners there are just "exceptional", but really, it is getting old. I get a free grope almost every month!
Gotta be honest, 75% is pretty low. But the selection could be the girl thing. Doubt they have a list.
However, as a male I am now 11-for-11 at the IAH Terminal C checkpoint, despite always using the belt aimed at the WTMD, and it ain't because the ladies want to check me out; probably not the guys either. Not as popular at MSY, only 10-for-12 there - although one of the opt-out gropers at MSY did greet me like an old friend last week. I probably wasn't as cheerful.
