That sounds like our experience or at least I don't remember any questions from BA. Now on AA this past summer I do remember the old standard security questions being asked. By old standard I mean the "Did you pack your own bag?", "Have they been in your control the whole time?", "Did anybody give you something to carry for them?", and so on. I mean they're not exactly invasive and certainly not hard to answer. Asked or not asked they're nothing to worry about one way or the other. The only reason I remember them being asked is because it was done by an agent going person to person in the line waiting to get to the ticket agent. Earned us a little initialed sticker on the back of our passports.
