<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">What I would like to know is why did I get secondary search when I had already passed thru the frikken detector without setting it off? Is there a procedure for this unbelievable waste of resources? Tho I guess with probably 20 TSA agents and just me going thru one side they wanted to do something useful.</font>
PW1P....the answer you'll probably get from TSA is that there is a secret formula for who gets "randomly" screened. However, I too find that when I approach a screening area with no activity and a score of TSA's folks standing around, I usually get the super deluxe strip search treatment. I think it's probably a way for everybody to look busy and for them to sharpen their frisking skills.
