Again I say, don't carry suspicious items with you, keep gifts unwrapped and don't wear anthing metal through the detectors and you should be fine. Like I said before, nobdy ever asks what caused the machines to sound an alarm. You only hear about how violated these people feel.
When we returned from our recent trip over, the agent in Honolulu wanted to look in my backpack. I asked him if there was anything in particular that he was looking for as I could pinpoint more quickly than him emptying the bag. He said there was an item that they wanted to recheck. After he was satisfied, he asked me if I needed help repacking everything. I told him that it was not a problem and that he had more pressing needs so I could take care of it myself. He said thanks and that was the end of it.
We travel to Europe twice each year. Security overseas is just as tough. Maybe not quite as thorough, but when you have soldiers carrying very big weapons, you tend to comply very quickly! [
