Daily Discussion
I just love the daily merry banter as I'm being patted down. I have yet to get them to get the conclusion and realise the futility of their actions yet but it pleases me to keep trying.
Usually it goes along the lines of:
......so what are you actually searching me for?
It's our job sir (if you're lucky)
...... No, no I mean what are you actually looking for (you'd be amazed at how often we never get further than this)
............For prohibited articles
............Because you are worried I might do what with them (again another conversation "stumper")
............You might commit a terrorist act sir
............and you don' think that without this bottle of water or my swiss arm knife I will be able to bring down this plane?
Silence hopefully as penny eventually drop!
Quick breathe deeply and repeat twenty times to myself "I am a professional I will not let this get to me"
