Exactly.

When a young relative of mine was flagged for a phone screening, the relative blurted our that there was a cell phone in possession even as there was not since it was walkie talkies in checked luggage. The parents picked which one of the two of them would be the fall guy for the extra check. The exact same kind of scenario as for when baby food/milk/formula was declared: pick who is going to get the extra search for it, in those cases a grope as the extra search beyond anything done to the baby food/milk/formula. I wonder what the TSA would say if some unconnected stranger offered to be the volunteer substitute for the extra searches for someone with whom they didn’t have any prior affiliation before arriving at the airport. Maybe it’s time for some more experiments this summer.
