Default Airport security is so tight!

Well, I guess it's a good thing. I took a plane to Las Vagas from San Diego. Anyways they make you take off the shoes, Jackets, watch, wallets, even cell phones and make them go through a X-ray machine. Also there is couple army guys standing there with their guns ready. I guess this is what it takes huh?

P.S - the guy in front of me got his tweezers taken away. I thought it was pretty funny.

What's even better is, a hot girl searching you. Happend to my friend, he popped a semi hard on just having her feel all over him dude. This lady has the looks of Heidi Klum and Michelle Pheifer. Before she searched the crouch, thighs, and stomach region, she clearly said "i'll be searching here, then there." All my friend could say is YES PLEASE. HEHE I cracked up when he told me this.

Recently, my sis-in-law went to Houston for an extended visit. Since she wasn't sure when she would return, she bought a one-way ticket. Upon boarding she was asked to return to the gate, where she was searched and thoroughly checked. I guess this was due to the fact she only had the one-way ticket. Believe me, my sis-in-law is about as close to being a terrorist as is my dog, Lucy. At least Southwest Airlines is careful.

My ass! Those bozos made me go through a secondary search too.... They checked me in at the gate counter, then directed me to a second line, where I was told not to leave. I did as told and went where they told me to, and two MORE people looked at my boarding pass (you get that AND the plastic card, unless you're secondary searched, in which case you get no plastic card, instead a Xeroxed sheet with your flight number and name on it in addition to the boarding pass).

So three people ALL looked at my boarding pass and secondary Nazi search paper, and they STILL put me on the wrong freaking plane! I was supposed to be going to Houston and then on to Chicago, and I ended up in LUBBOCK! From there, to get me to the right place, they sent me to Dallas, Houston, Nashville, then Chicago, secondary searching me at EVERY airport. I felt like a scene out of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and by the time I got there, I felt dirty (Southwest reminds me enough of a city bus that I feel dirty like I was actually on a bus when I get off of one of their planes), exhausted, and pissed.

I won't fly Southwest again unless it's free... I really question their "security measures" when three people can look at the same pass for the wrong flight and still escort someone onto it!

LOL Sondra, sorry, but that really does sound like something out of a comedy film
