Matt got swabbed at Atlanta coming home from Jamaica. They swabbed his hands, feet, shoes and almost everything in his carry-on bag. They took him aside and explained that our i-pod dock looked like a "b word". I thought they meant the female dog "b-word" and the lady laughed at me then she whispered "bomb". They were nice about it.
[QUOTE=never2many;84331]Well I can say I wasn't "swabbed" in Jamaica (still not really clear on the word "swabbed")
Swabbed = (as defined by Limo Mon) they took a white pad wiped me down and then put it under a microscope. Hope that helps.
3 o'clock, road block, and i had to throw away my little herb stock, oh why can't we roam this open country, I............rebel music
I got the full monty leaving MBJ in July of 2011. Private room, invasive search, intense interrogation. Which, since I teach 'verbal judo', was fookin hilarious. This was all due to the fact that JA security forces can't tell the difference in appearance between an ethnic Russian and an Arab terrorist. Or, maybe they can.....
Anyway, the security people were as rude as could be and did not like being verbally sparred with. Then, a hour later, the same fookin staff came and pulled me out of the boarding line and repeated the process. Tamminator almost got arrested for going off on security for the second search.
leaving
I was impressed with this as well! But now that I think about it.....if I thought security was thinking i was hiding drugs, i would probably poop my pants instantly! ;)Quote:
