I remember last time we flew up to Queensland to see mum and dad we were waiting to go through security and I was looking at all the other passengers. I said to my wife that guy over there looks like a terrorist, this one here looks shifty, that couple look like part of a middle eastern crime gang . Guess who got stopped and searched, yep me and my wife ,and they confiscated her metal nail file.

Went to start the car that's at my mums house that is there for anyone to drive since she passed and what ya know it's got a dead flat battery. Had to make haste and walk to the shop. Got there about four minutes before closing. Just as well as there was no food at all in the house. I had just enough time to grab the essentials, some dip and crackers, a two pack of Balfour's custard tarts and two FUIC.

Sounds about right because to stop any of those others would be considered racial profiling.

They’re on the ball. They found that metal nail file.

I get stopped and have the wand run over me pretty much every time I go through airport security. Used to annoy me, now I just wait for them to call me over.

One time I flew from Detroit to Melbourne with a few flight changes along the way. I purchased a small snow-dome (for a work colleague who collects them) while in the Chicago airport (in the sterile area) and continued on to LA then on to Sydney. At Sydney, they asked us to leave the sterile area and re-board the same plane for the last leg to Melbourne. I have been carrying the snow dome in my ‘carry on’ across the American continent and across the Pacific Ocean, and they wanted to confiscate it in Sydney - the same snow dome that was purchased in the secure area of Chicago airport - and I had been in sterile/secure areas the whole trip up to Sydney. I explained it to them but they still wanted to confiscate it as it might have had more than 100cc of fluid in it. Anyway, I kept my cool and the supervisor came up and said to the security person ‘let him have it back’ and I was on my way with the snow dome. :)

Some of those border security officials seem to be robotic numb nuts.
