Well said Bart!

Cheers. Sharon

BTW - in Oct I was flying to YYZ. They sent me off to put my bag through the big super-duper x-ray thingy machine (note my technical description there! ). At the end I get the we have to look into your bag. Me, knowing I'm not a terrorist nor smuggling illicit items. Ok. They take it behind the big thingy & I can't see a thing. Me - excuse me. I need to see my bag. We're examining it. I know you are & that's fine, but I'm allowed to watch my bag being searched. What? Yes (I'm still being polite but having to shout a bit cuz they're on the other side of the thingy) I'm allowed to watch my bags being searched. Well uh ok, but you have to stand over there (where I'm standing). Yes, but I need to stand over here in VIEW of my bag. Really? Yes. Ok, hey (to screener) - move it down so she can see you. What (but he did it)? Then (ok, this part's not in the rule book). Excuse me - could you be a bit careful on putting things back in? I have a bottle of wine backed carefully & surrounded by soft stuff, but still... The TSA guy (honest to goodness!) - hey, be careful - don't break her wine

PS - this is really funny - sorry, have to share. The family in front of me puts their luggage through - sorry, we have to put it through again. Oh that's probably because we put a barbeque in it. What? They actually bought a barbie in the US cuz it was cheaper than in the UK & broke it up/put it in dif family luggage! think i actually did a sep thread on that one.

But anyway, what Bart said re: post above.

Cheers. Sharon
