I had the same feeling when leaving SVO2 this summer. They hand inspected *EVERY* item in *EVERY* compartment of *EVERY* checked bag. The inspector was very quiet, pleasant, and respectful. There was no yelling whatsoever. Instead of a feeling of being violated, we were left with the feeling that this was a necessary evil being handled as appropriately as possible.
