I strongly suspect Love_Travel that you don't know what that was and like many of the AFS crowd never gave it a second thought.
Exactly. It boggles the mind how any of the anything-for-security folks could have ever stepped foot in an airport after the spate of bombings in the mid-to-late-'80s, when checkpoints were not secured with body scanners nor frisks.

It also boggles the mind how they did not start demanding that all personal vehicles be inspected after the two bombings in the early '90s (WTC and Oklahoma City).

Way too many Americans do not understand that terrorism (on US soil and abroad) did not start the morning of September 11, 2001.
