I was watching this thing on CNN earlier too,
about phoenix being such a big target for terrorists, kinda worried me actually, I never knew.
I kinda filmed a few seconds:

It does shock most of us. There was a tv show on BBC about the security at Birmingham it was that low you could possibly carry a a gun onto the plane. Staff sleeping on the job. Lame searches on people and not even looking at the screen while suitcases were going though.Quote:

If you look over it then they don't usually ask, it's happened to me a few times.Quote:

When I'm by myself, because I'm 6ft 3, they always frisk me. Even when I went to Wembley to see Muse, they frisked me :P
haha, when i've gone through customs they always ask for all of us to take our shoes off.
the worst was at o'hare, I had to take my belt, shoes, all jewelry, my hair clips all out haha.
My mummy got searched through our suitcase last year but no one else did and i was like =l
Well this year im taking my sponge bob suitcase (H) so i shouldnt be searched (H)
Anyone can be searched, be it a 7 day old baby or a 90 year old woman.
Under 16 they ask your parents permission, however it's still your decision as to them searching you.
When I get searched they usually ask who im traveling with, I point and they shout "DAD DAD CAN I SEARCH UR SON?"
On the one occasion I traveled alone I had to sign a form saying that my parents wasn't there and I give my permission to be searched without the presence of a parent/guardian.
They basically have the same powers as the police, if you refuse to be searched they can detain you under the serious organised crimes act which would entitle them to search you without your permission, where as if you refused to be searched by the police then you'd be arrested, thus giving them reason to search you.
