BW makes a very good point. The "random" screening process is completely out of control. I was flying SNA-OAK earlier this morning with SWA. After scoring an "A" boarding pass, I planted my 6' 1" frame in front of the boarding area. The elderly
security agent told me that I needed to move because my legs would get in someone's way. I asked if it would be alright to sit Indian-style to avoid the problem. He said that he would have to check with the gate agent. SWA had no problem and I remained where I was. Believe me, I was fully prepared for a "pay back" random search, but it never materialized.

What a bunch of nonsense.
