Brian,

I was a baggage screener for ORF from 2002-2003. That was before the CT scanners. It was all done with swiping machines and manual searches. Most people were either friendly or completely neutral - just stood by and submitted to the search.

In each flight, however, there was always a jerk. A guy (or gal) who was loud, rude and nasty about being chosen as a selectee. I had an active duty Navy Chief tell me she was going to slap the sh*t out of me if I even thought about doing a full search on her seabag. It got to the point the LEOs were called. I never said a word to her except to explain what I was going to do to her bag. I bet if you get her side of the story I was a rude, nasty, out of control hag.

You see, it' all a matter of point of view.
