I didn't either, aside from the surprise of a little burst of air blown in my face. I'd much rather go through these, as they provide actualy security instead of the Kabuki Carnival.

Now that we have some in operation we need to get the TSA to apply sensible policies for their use, i.e. shoes and coats stay on.
