The frequent fliers are more than likely the last people who should be subjected to extra searches. Have any hijackers ever been Executive Plat or 1K? I highly doubt it.

But you never know when something will be "planted" on you. Let me ask you this: When you checked in, and the agent asked you, "have the bags been with you since you packed them?" how did you answer? Is it posible that when you left your bags with the hotel valet? Is it posible that they were in the trunk of your car? Have you ever placed something in your bag that was wrapped as a gift by someone else?

You never know, and frequent flyers should not be exempt from any of this.
