Aaaaargh why did I have to curse myself like this! When scanning BPs for Skypriority me and the guy sitting next to me were 'randomly' selected for a full security checks. Swabs of shoes, inside of shoes, jacket, inside of bag, hands... the works.

Next time I'll keep my mouth shut

For what it's worth arjen05, it is indeed an explosives residue test, not a drug test of any sort. They'd return positive a bit too often at AMS I am guessing...
