Doesn't bug him, though, since, for all the shoe carnivals and liquid silliness, we DO want to take a close look at people whose property has explosive residue on it.
Similar situation - I frequently fly through Watertown, NY (ART) which has Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division as primary customers for the airport. Needless to say, I'm sure the positive rate for explosives residue on their duffels is fairly high. I've seen at least one poor schmuck standing there while they tear the guy's bag apart... same reason as above, I have no problem, isn't that what the alarms are for?

I'm surprised no one from the ART fares from two years ago never noticed any army dudes getting searched.
