Me and the girlfriend just said no last week when we were on our way to Mexico from Newark.
So here we are in the priority security line. (she has the continental gold thing)
They were just having people go through the regular metal detector. The min we walk up the want us to go through the microwave.
She says no first (shockingly) then me. They have us walk around the metal detector. Why I don't know? Still could have prison hidden a knife.
So one pats here down after long stupid tsa rant. My turn, guy pats down my shoulders sides etc. He kneels down in front of me, this is where the fun begins. Note my back is to the other people in line.
I start rolling my head and twitching around like I'm enjoying something. My final laugh was to say loudly " why your down there" and "less teeth please"
Made a few other people laugh in line and stopped the pat down quickly it seemed.
On the way back from the cacun airport.
Fly threw metal detector, I don't even know if it was on. None of them ever beeped. They might only have been set to catch a metal baseball bat.
