Well, they do give "little old ladies" such attention! In Salt Lake a couple of years ago, I made the mistake of asking when the priority boarding was starting because the minute they announced they would begin boarding soon, everyone jumped up and filled the area near the entry. Well, I asked the wrong person. The guy took me over to the side, scanned me with his little wand (never mind I had already passed their security before coming to the gate), and when I said be careful where you move that thing (between the legs), he made me take off my orthopedic shoes (this was before they made everyone do this), and told me to stand there, I had sat down as I am not to stand or walk barefoot at all, and he took his sweet time about it all. By the time I got on the flight, it was nearly full. So much for prority seating for the lady brought to the gate in a wheelchair!!!

Frisking little old ladies, with open borders makes no sense. I refuse to fly until real security happens. Seal the borders. Little old ladies deserve respect. The criminals crossing our open borders are a security threat. Any one ever heard of terrorists ? Open borders are the place to cross into this nation with no regards to american safety. Welcome home Gracie ! I am happy Gracie is home. Frisking little old ladies, with open borders makes no sense. I refuse to fly until real security happens. Seal the borders.

Re the baggage scan, it just goes to show how "alert" some of these airport workers are. Truth is less than 50% of baggage is actually scanned. Yet, they frisk little old ladies. Insanity.

Thank goodness Gracie is okay, the way they throw luggage around, it's a miracle! I love happy endings. Good point Nancy G.
