My auntie, a 70-something 5' tall, frail, SAO and dead-ringer for every ad about funeral insurance you ever saw, STILL complains how they took her prized and antique nail clippers ten years ago. And she STILL rolls her eyes when I tell her how I travelled with a metal tent peg in a laptop bag for at least a year.
Slightly off-topic, but coming through Gladstone the other day, the random residue search lady picked my three year old daughter. She wasn't offered the form to read about consent nor did she or I expressly give it. I did reply that "yes she is travelling with me" though. Then my five year old felt left out and demanded that she be tested too, which she was, instantly discrediting their claims that tests are 'random'. All this was too much for the two burley blokes, looking for all the world like they had been setting charges in a mine somewhere that day, who p1ssed themselves laughing as they were putting back on their steel capped boots.
Airport security: inconsistent one day, unpredictable the next.
