Today I was patted down for the first time by a young attractive woman. It happened at RDU C concourse (AA). I also had my shoes checked for the first time (my first flight since the Reid incident) and got my bag wiped again for the umpteenth time. There seems to be a lot more screeners than before. I guess it's because the feds are going to pay them about $35K, a big increase from what the $8/hr they're making now. Now they can jeer those that got that HS diploma. Anyway, I think instead of sitting around in the airline club, I'll pull up a chair and watch the screening. Much more entertaining based on this thread.
