They are patting everyone down not just me. Never seen them do that before. I once was selected to be searched when I was in the Phoenix airport. They searched my bags, my 18 month old son's bag too (this was in 2007) They patted me down and they patted down my son. Can you believe that? We missed our connecting flight to Newark and had to spend 14 long hours there. Thank god we finally caught another flight. And get this, there was a playground with a slide and everything inside that airport by Alaskan air.

I'm on the plane right now using fly-fi. And the 2 seats next to me are empty
