Maybe it had nothing to do with security at all. Maybe they were really looking for those missing Whitehouse doorknobs and keyboards. </font>

As far as the "random" selection of Vice President Gore and other celebrities, might this have something to do with curious screeners enjoying the chance to rummage through the personal effects of the celebrities and later brag to their friends about who they felt up that day?

I don't know...I would be suspicious of Gore if I was an airport screener.
After all, I would have to take a close look at anyone who I suspect is very, very angry. And no man has a right to be angry more than Al Gore. He was SUPPOSED to be doing all his flying on Air Force 1 and Air Force 2.

Gore fits the profile for selection; recently shaved his beard after the fall of the Taliban and has a propensity for re-inventing himself and making outrageous "exaggerations".
Then again, either it's a vast, fanatical far "right-wing conspiracy" or maybe the screeners are FOB (friends of Bill) who disapproved of the way Gore chose to distance himself from their favorite ex-president.
