Try flying intraEurope or intraAsia. You will see none of the disgusting passenger harassment that is reserved for those passengers on flights to the US.
I would be careful about your statement, and I agree with you about 75% of the time

Last June, BA, London-Edinburgh - gate check, not me
The previously mentioned trip, CX - HKG-SIN - gate check, not me
Although the total security to get to the gate was a joke, BA Regional - at the gate it was the same as above mentioned trip - NBO-JNB - gate check - this time everybody, that's the only reason I don't consider it the same as the posted report, becuse everybody got it, and frankly, I was looking for something myself at this point.
The HKG-LAX was the first personal
