She's hot lol
They are newER and slowly being rolled out. First to get them was/is the gates for international flights to and from high drug trafficking areas.Are these new? I fly thru Florida a lot and never been subjected to one...
I do typically get "randomly" searched tho.
TSA spoof
pretty funny video from japan about airport security
&jayjay1122, thanks for the info. at first i was very appalled at her story from the first link, then i watched the security tapes and i'm left with a new perception of the story.
my favorite part is when they need to turn your laptop on and rummage thru your documents.
Ya I do the same, but it is just funny how they check thru your files. lol I am fine that they just turn it on to make sure its not a bomb.. and even if it was a bomb and they just flip it right on, if it was rigged then they just killed all the people in the lobby, a very counter productive system they have going.Yeah good luck getting into my laptop. It's encrypted, and I 'd rather miss the flight then let someone on.

I know I am a little late to the party, but I travel for work all the time and nobody has made me turn my laptop on (or any others that I have seen) in over 8 years.
It has happened to me twice in the last 6 months. Always during the "random" search. They seem to just turn it on to make sure it is a working laptop and not a bomb.. but it is a stupid process cause like I said earlier if it was a bomb they could have just activated it themselves... lol The last time the guy didn't seem to know what to do. He turned it on.. Opened the start menu, opened notepad, closed it, and shut down.
I guess they hope that when doing this someone freaks out and just runs... or that potential terrorists have left their plans and documents opened so when the computer gets turned on everything is right there for them..
you know what would be funny as hell is to have your laptop load a porn movie on startup at max volume hahahaha.
First, I think the TSA is under trained, unprofessional and ill-equipped to perform the task they are responsible for. They can be rude and very obnoxious!
That said, this entire story is mostly a lie guys!
1. The person on line in front her went through the scanner first.
2. 12 other people were scanned (9 men and 3 women) during her "ordeal"
3. She was NOT cuffed to the chair
4. She sat in that chair for about 10 minutes, not an hour.
5. For most of those ten minutes, she was alone with what appeared to be a sympathetic TSA agent who gave her paper towels to blow her nose and wipe her tears.
6. If her boarding pass was ripped up, it was not done on camera.
7. I know not important, but the guys interviewing her made it an issue...at least one other attractive women went by without being scanned.
8. It did not appear that anyone was screaming at her, but there was no audio so it is tough to tell.
Here is the link to the TSA video of the event!

Decide for yourselves!
I did a quick search, and apparently the TSA released video that contradicts her story:

IMHO, I still wouldn't go through one of those. I think that airport security is mostly security theater and seriously violates our civil liberties; but she shouldn't be blowing it out of proportion like that.
