bingo! the 'fallen' woman in search of glorious flowers to plant in her garden gets heavily scrutinized while the biker dood gets a pass.... sort of like the gorgeous woman getting a 'pat down' by the TSA.... gawd this gov't is perverse!

Actually, I was wearing a fabric riding jacket. Guy asked what I had in my pockets. I reached into the right pocket of the jacket and brought out a handful - "Let's see, I have some packets of salt and pepper from Jack in the Box, chapstick, a wallet..." I went for the left pocket and he said "You don't have to take everything out. Just tell me what you have." It was pure BS. He just wanted to give me a hard time. I had to bite my tongue, cause my first inclination was to be a smart ass, but they have the power to turn you back, then that goes into their system so next time you try to cross they give you an even harder time.
