I always go through trouble at the airport. they think I might be bringing drug. they interview me, and examine every single luggage I bring. which is tiring.
yea i've had the same experiences, & its funny in a way when the ones searching ya look the eype to be terrorists themselves
I have an Israeli passport and am an international student in the U.S... so yes, I get searched... a lot.
Whenever I travel, I get kinda smelly and sweaty. So I put on alot of patchouli oil. & I dress like some kind of psychedelic bum(baggy stuff with trippy patterns and such)...and I always look high. But for some reason, I have never been searched any more than any normal person would.
I think they like to single me out b/c my favorite travel pants are these very comfortable patchwork pants I made and those are not really everyday pants...so yeah I get searched a lot too.
Almost never... Border guards love me. I've driven over it drunk before. I don't dress like a dirty hippy tho.
i've only been on a plane once n it wasnt overseas so i didnt get searched or anything. even though i was still paranoid. lol
I have this very innocent face, like I've never done anything wrong in my life, that deffinitely works to my advantage when flying:H
My mom is a flight attendant for American Airlines and flies out of O'hare International Airport. So I've spent a lot of time in that airport. I fly dirt-cheap but have to go stand-bye so I usually have a few hours to burn and one of my favorite activities is just getting a seat and watching all the different types of people from all around the world. There's also a strict dress-code for relatives flying with an employee's discount so I have to dress-up all "professional" like which is weird but sort-a fun because I normally would never do so, so it's like I'm playing dress-up all day or something which takes me back to when i was realy little. So I usually enjoy the airport. I always set the detectors off though so that sucks...
i brought a joint in my wallet once with no problems, and had my pipe in my pants.. no hassels. i did have this bottle of water they thought was suspicious though. they almost confiscated it.. haha but i told them what it was and why i had it, and they reluctantly let me keep it. i had a pair of sisscors in my backpack once though, and i had to unpack all my shit trying to find where they were.. they were getting angry with me cause they thought i was just purposely not finding them. the lady kept a tight eye on me, and went through all my things.. i showed up to the airport late, surprise surprise, and thought i was going to miss my flight cause of the hold up. haha bringing the joint was kind of stupid i guess.. but it was my birthday, and it was a present for getting off the plane. : )
I have had some unpleasant experiences in the airport... and border partol??? heh, forset about it. They put the dogs on us every time...i guess its because we've got camping gear with coolers and stuff.... we never have anything more than personal stash on us, so they never sniff us out. But damn!!! its infuriating nonetheless.....we arent doing anything wrong
Oh, man. I was caught with a packed bowl in my coat pocket once. I was completely baked when I got to the airport and clearly forgot to give it to my friend for safekeeping. I went through security and they asked me to step to the side, and then kinda covertly showed me what they'd found. I almost started crying. The woman's supervisor came over, looked at it, looked at me, and then told her to search my bags and see if I had anything else on me. They didn't find a thing, handed me back my bowl, practically patted me on my head, and sent me on my way.
