said by BIGMIKE :Some of the questions you might be asked # Was your luggage in your posession at all times? I was returning from a trip right after Labor Day 1996 having gotten to the air port on a Hotel Bus (where the baggage was stowed in compartments under the floor). The person ahead of me got sick of this dumb question and answered honestly by saying that he had (also) come in on the Hotel Bus (implying that his bags were thus out of his sight while in the baggage compartment) but that was not a problem since Greg Morris (ie: Mission Impossible's Barney Collier) had died the prior weekend. The clerk then called for security since she was too dumb to understand the answer (ie: That with Morris dead there was little possibility that he was hidden in the compartment to fool with the luggage as his character often did on the show). |

Technically, these questions are asked to prove guilt, should they find something. Much like the police looking at the gun in your hand and saying "is that yours?" Answering yes proves is it, and when tests show it to be the murder weapon, you can't claim it isn't yours.
Has your luggage been in your possession the entire time? Yes? Ok well then the knife that is in it must have been put there by you.

Airport security sucks. For anyone not familiar with the what goes on at an airport security check, it's where you're harassed by balding, middle-aged men and women with yellow armpit stains. They'll submit you to rigorous interrogation by asking you questions to ensure that you're not a terrorist plotting to blow up the airplane (because that's what all terrorists do). Some of the questions you might be asked
# Have you received any packages from strangers?
# Did you pack your own luggage?
# Was your luggage in your posession at all times?
That last question gets me every time. I have a bad habit of leaving my luggage with unscrupulous looking strangers so my shit gets stolen before I go on my trip. Please. What's the point of asking these questions? Anyone planning on blowing up an airplane probably isn't going to be honest enough to answer these questions truthfully in the first place. Even if the terrorists were dumb enough to answer these questions truthfully, chances are that they'd be too damn stupid to pull off the crime anyway! What the hell is the point?
I was carrying a box through the security check point at LAX the other day, when I was suddenly stopped by an officer that asked me what was in my box. I told him "a doll" and he took my word for it, letting me pass through. If he was going to take my word for it anyway, then what the hell was the point of asking? I could have said shoes, clothes, or even a good Smashing Pumpkins album (if one existed). Does he hope that by asking enough stupid questions that eventually a terrorist would slip up and say "a bomb," at which point officer dipshit would arrest him or her? Morons.
