Just so we "look busy"? The worst thing I've heard caught during a continuous is a pocket knife, which most of us seem to agree isn't a creaible weapon to a plane.

Don't you think this is completely stupid?

Screenerx...

We may be on 2 sides of a politically driven equation, but I tend to agree with many of your comments...I know what buzzes and what doesn't and think about that when preparing my body for departure day everytime I fly.

"It isn't about the metal." is the current line being employed at MCI by the "contractors" to justify the secondary hasslement of customers who do not set off the detector. And when I question it, they just repeat it.

Very effective mindwashing/training/hypnotizing or whatever they are doing at MCI.
