Friendly Flying Advice ;)

I think the last bit is aloud of crap. What your saying is, the captain of a cruise liner can get you killed and chuck you off freely

well I guess.. technically it is true.

Actually,
Some Airlines do follow the law of where they are flying over. I get searched whenever I wear a belt or have an MP3 player on me. My laptop and my MP3 regularly get swabbed and traced for drugs (Thats what their machines check the white pads for)

Actually, no airline in the world does.. So where you got that information from, I don't know.

You'd get searched for the belt, if it set the metal detector off, but not for MP3 player.. Millions of people take them every day, it's nothing..

Your laptop will always get screened seperatly at security, if you ask for it too be.. If not, it'll pass through NORMALLY.. And certainly not searched for drugs, thats customs job.. Not security!

So your either lieing, or being told really dodgey information..

i've had my mp3 player swabbed before in chicago...

[Desjardens]

They've taken my;

• iPod
• iBook
• Cell Phone

All swabbed for explosives and drugs. The people have no real reason to do it, they just need to as a requirement for CATSA

Maybe once, but not every time..

I guess in USA it's like searching then, every one in so many they take items..

However, personally i'd say that job was for customs "/

Hey Everyone

I just had an experiance with me and my family travelling and I thought i'd pass on this advice to you!

When you are travelling through any airport in the USA, give yourself lots of time! I was travelling through Chicago a while back, and we were just going to make our flight. We got to security, but we looked like we wanted to hurry along or be very quickly checked. My whole family was taken off to the side, and my dad got a large search, my mom got her bags searched, and they looked through my computer and electronics.

It wasnt the best experiance, so make sure you dont look rushed or hurry to catch your plane, you could end up in the same situation I got into

dam so they found ur bombs and cocain?

So clearly Adam you don't know what you're talking about...

They regularly swab peoples electronics and place the swab in a machine to detect for drugs and chemicals.
