Arrived at COS last Saturday morning at 0500 for a 0625 flight. Checked in regular line, as noone was staffing FC counter. Only had my boarding pass checked before going through normal xray security. Changed to an earlier departure to DEN since I had so much time before my scheduled flight.

Arrived at RDU at 1005 Sunday for my initial 1155 return flight. Checked in FC line, and had a picture ID checked in addition to normal xray security. Had LOTS of time to spare prior to departure.

It seemed to me at both airports that it is the folks who are checking baggage that are being subjected to the slow hand searches, especially those items that are large and will not pass through the xray "templates" at selected airports, and even then was told the searches are randomly selected. I had only an over-the-shoulder carry-on, so breezed through.
