I only read the first page and a half, who else besides Anaconda is an idiot?
My mother has steel pins in her lower-spine; they've set off the detectors on occasion. She is taken to a private room and a female security guard uses the handheld detector to confirm that she indeed has metal in her spine and isn't a 68 year old terrorist trying to sneak in a gun or bomb in her anus.
On a recent trip to Canada, some guy asked to check my backpack at the x-ray conveyor thing.
Obviously I obliged, it always seems to happen, I guess because I carry a lot of wires in my backpack from various electronic devices (iPod, chargers for stuff). Anyway, this supposed "security" guy was apologising to me, overly apologetic.
It just made me think, had I not been fine with it, I could have given him a real hard time and probably got on without being checked.
It's weird. "I'm sorry for doing my job.".

They typically do not set off metal detectors.
Speaking from experience?

He was apologizing so much because after he looked in your bag, it embarrassed the hell out of him. It was the various bottles of personal lubricant, the Magnum condoms, and the hand cuffs.

Actually, because its contains alcohol, I doubt Abdul Islamic Jihad will touch it.

a little tangental, but I remember a doc. on illegal smuggling in central Asian (Muslim) nations. There was a hut where this guy had pounds of hash and opium just sitting out, like, he was showing them off. He motions for everyone to huddle in so he can open this secret compartment in the floor, and hidden in a blanket under the house was a bottle of brandy or something.
