All I was trying to point out is that this was a very unusual way of doing things at least in my opinion. Normally, you check your bags give them to the person at the counter and the bags THEN get screened behinds the scenes so to speak. I have no problem with that.
What I found unusual is that the 2 (That's all I saw) explosive sniffing machines were set up in the main terminal covered in black cloth. I don't know if Vegas doesn't have enough room to put them elsewhere but I felt it was unusual:
1) To have these devices in the main terminal
2) Have passengers carry their own bags there
3) Because of the line you had to endure when you're trying to be a good bloke by checking your bags in the 1st place
Seems like you can't win or even get a draw on here somedays.

P.S Deskdriver...I live in New YorK and if you want a hassle, you should have tried taking the Subway once the Anthrax story came out. Every Kook and their brother had cans of Talcum Powder spreading it on the platforms closing the subways down for hours on end. Made a 90 minute commute into a 3 hour nightmare.... 1 WAY
