I dunno about NOT getting searched, but I did figure out how to ensure that I get picked every time.

The first was quite by accident. I was just bored at the gate and found myself staring (by accident, I assure you!) at one of the gate security folks. When she made eye conact, I did what most americans do and looked away (thats one of the things I love about Paris...staring is a sport!). Next thing I knew, I was pulled out of line at the gate reader. So at ORD, I stared at security on purpose, BAM, got it again. Then stared again at TPA: BAM. DEN: BAM. Etc, etc.

This worked 8 out of 8 times. Now that I know how to ensure that I will get searched at the gate, I'm thinking of putting something very personal and embarassing in my carryon. You know, a big blow up sheep or something.

Hey, fun is fun!!!!

But, clearly, these searches are not random and I stumbled onto one of the profiling keys.
