In all fairness, I could have avoided this, but I had some time to kill and no one behind me was in a hurry.
As I approached the X-ray line, a woman was saying the following phrase on repeat: "Please put your laptops, phones, bluray players, and Xboxes in a bin along with any toiletries." Between repeats she was asking every person currently at the front of the X-Ray line if they'd forgotten to put any of the aforementioned items in a bin. A few people did forget the occasional laptop or iPad, but it was as uneventful as you would normally expect.
Fast forward to my turn. For some reason, she asked me the original question as well as an additional question. When she asked the long winded question, I was polite and mature about it. Then she asked me if I was sure that no Xboxes were in my pockets. I knew she was using it as a general term for any gaming device, but I couldn't help myself. I said yes, which resulted in my being asked to step aside into the examination area.
She initially asked me to simply pat myself down by pulling my jeans tightly against my legs, but she couldn't see anything with that method. Then she said she was going to need to get someone to pat me down. A male agent was called over, but I said I wanted a female. Of course, I don't actually care, but there was a hot girl agent a few feet back and I was hoping to get her. I was hardly able to contain the grin on my face when Jessica was summoned to my booth. I almost audibly giggled when she pulled a privacy curtain over to the area. I asked if she was going to need a glove, which caused her to blush and nervously laugh.
After she slowly and carefully rubbed all around my shoulders, armpits, knees, ankles, and "pocket" areas, she inquired about what prompted this search. The guy said I had an xbox in my pocket, which made her shoot me a look since I'm guessing because of her age (~25) she knew that wasn't possible. I told her she probably didn't feel it because it was an xbox slim (lol) and then I thanked her for the personal attention. The guy smiled after that and then she figured it out. We had a good laugh about it.
On a somewhat related note, I also got to sit next to a major league hottie on the plane. She fell asleep while listening to her iPhone, so I slowly turned up the volume one click every five minutes or so. She eventually woke up, but she didn't catch me because I acted like I was asleep. She fell asleep after turning it down, so I did it again. After the flight, she called someone and said the weirdest thing happened to her phone during the flight. We made eye contact after that comment very briefly and I did my best to maintain an even face, but I suspect a small grin must have emerged because she smiled ever so slightly and then looked away. I said have a nice day and good luck with your phone before walking away.
Immature, yes, but harmless. Normally I'm so distracted by my kids that I don't have time to be such a douche. I was traveling alone, though, so the saying about idle hands applies here.
