The issue is the computer. What computer? Has anyone ever seen a computer at a security checkpoint that the security folks can check for flags? I have flown every week since 9/11 and I have flown all over the U.S and internationally and I have never seen one airport that has a computer at the checkpoint. I also buy tickets online all the time. Flew this weekend on tickets purchased online as a matter o fact. Since 9/11, I have only been intensely searched one time. And that was on a flight that I had purchased through a travel agency. If she bought the tickets online, she was likely flying on an e-ticket or had the tickets sent to her. She would not even have needed to go to the check-in counter. It is very unlikely that the people had any idea who she was. But, I have seen a couple of guys give some attitude when going through the security checkpoint. They both were taken aside and got a thorough search of their bodies and bags.... Also, everytime that I have had the wand used on me I have been touched by it. Generally it is a light touch throughout the scanning. No big thing.
