Quote:"Might I also add that I've never seen adults with children or business class travelers get searched?? I'm beginning to get a bit paranoid and am finding it increasingly humiliating to be searched so many times per trip."

no need to feel paranoid--I normally fly business class and am routinely wanded and "randomly searched." Morevoer, I am a woman. Initially, the searches were a bit humiliating--now, I just take a deep breath and deal with it. Shoes off, all the mysterious places in my handbag searched, etc. Just regard it as a ridiculous inconvenience. El Al has the right attitude: They don't look for weapons, they look carefully at the passengers. El Al could care less about being "politically correct." They profile their passengers and do it with diligence, respect and intelligence.
