L. Marcus Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Re: The Last Word I've been frisked at an airport once. Oh -- and first day of basic training may count. And the day we drilled chem warfare decontamination in ten degrees below. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Re: The Last Word I don't think I've even been frisked. Had the metal-detector wand waved over me, but no more than that. Obviously I am a boring, inoffensive-looking individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Re: The Last Word Been frisked, though mostly at concerts which do a much better job than the airport. Or at least my low number of being frisked. The one time at the airport, they failed to notice the crochet hook sticking out of my vest pocket.

Cancer Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Re: The Last Word I just don't put myself in frisking situations very often. I don't trust authority structures to do anything much beyond maintaining their own authority, which means finding what they want to find when they want to find it.
