TSA searched me for hidden Xboxes

Yep, I take about 100 flight per year and can't recall an incident like this.

I fly quite a bit as well and it was a first for me. Unless you think every person working at the TSA is a robot that's forced to read from a script, it's possible that some of them will say different things. The potential human under discussion was encountered at the security checkpoint in the A terminal of the Denver airpot.
 
I actually got patted down by a cute TSA chick several years ago. No request, she just pulled me aside because of their random non-sense.
 
Got to remember to pack a VCR next time i fly.
Nah, they'll charge you a fortune in luggage fees. Just get a small pill box, put pentagrams and other Wiccan symbols on it, and call it a "hex box". 😀
 
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.
That is so damn awesome.
