I say ignoring calls to report for secondary screening should always result in you being denied boarding. It's the same thing as sneaking around the magnetometer and x-ray machine.</font>
I agree completely. Hey, I don't like being patted down and wanded any more than anyone else does. But if I have to play by the rules, so does everyone else. And that means if your name is randomly selected, you better submit to the search. If you're not willing to play by the rules as they are written -- regardless of whether or not you think they are idiotic -- then don't fly.

And if you don't submit to the search, and then get pulled off the plane and delay me and make me miss my connections, then I sure hope they give you a full body cavity search on every single leg of your trip.
