03/01/2002 Entry: "random searches" My other boss, Larry, threw a hissy-fit in the airport yesterday morning. Every time we fly as a group, we're ALL subjected to "random" searches. For the last two days we've been traveling as a group of ten. It makes the staff in charge of the searches absolutely frantic. I guess only about three people usually get searched per flight. I keep telling the other drivers that we fit the "profile:"
- We travel as a group. So I guess some truck drivers have a lot in common with suicide bombers. Except for the death wishes and religious fanaticism, of course. Hey, I don't care if they search me. I'm so used to it that I have my sneakers pulled off before I even get in line with my boarding pass. They can search me until it's time to take off. I don't care. I know that my bloody mary mix and pretzels will be waiting for me on board. Wait, I take that back. When we fly Southwest it bothers me a little. I like to have a window seat and Southwest seating is "first come, first serve." Eh, oh well. The couple sitting in front of me yesterday told me that on their last flight Terry Bradshaw was subjected to a random search. Everyone on board that flight got a kick of out if. The computer picks who gets searched, so celebrities aren't exempt. I'd like to see them search a bitch like Mariah Carey or Courtney Love. :) On a flight to Georgia last month (I think it was last month) I was subject to a random search of my carry on items. I had forgotten that I had a pair of surgical tweezers in my cosmetics bag. The search staff didn't notice them. Neither did the x-ray people. I didn't tell them they were there, because I didn't want to lose them. The points of the tweezers are so sharp, I've drawn blood on myself while reaching for them. Sometimes, when I'm dropping off a truck in the middle of the night on a deserted lot, I'll carry them in my hand for protection. I couldn't believe they missed my surgical tweezers. I've always remembered to leave them at home when I'm going to be flying since then.
 What's ironic is that "Pakistan" is etched into the side. I can't believe I'm going to be 28 on Monday. Dammit.
