Was it a long line, Biggs?

We now issue time cards, that we use to keep track of how long it takes for a person to get through the walkthru.

As for the second chance, don't like it personally, if you don't get the items off you the first time, why should the line of people behind you, have to wait for you to get it right?

It's not always jsut a pocket of change. From experience in wanding the people usually sit there and empty everything out before they remember that one pocket that has Altoids, Cellphone, Pager, or Change in it. I've seen people shake their pockets and I've heard change when they do so, I tell them that and they refuse and say no, walkthru and guess what change.

If you ring, you get screened, not because it keeps us busy (My airport hasnt been able to do random harrasment for months), but because it usually holds other passengers up.
