I mentioned that in CAI the initial security screener showed me the x-ray of my suitcase and asked me to show him my electric toothbrush and something else (which I guessed was a tiny USB drive which he accepted but seemed unconvinced it was what was in the x-ray). It was in AMM transit security that we felt that being white was making a difference. They did a full secondary on every item in our suitcases. It was almost as bad as having the Arm of Doom in LHR.
