police assumed I was a criminal. A lot of that had to do with my appearance, and a bit more came from my record with the police there.
I used to get stopped and searched every time I went through an airport..

..and I used to think what part of middle aged ..middle class white woman meets your search criteria....?...

..
The only time I didn't get it was when we travelled with another couple and the husband looked like and was the oldest hippy in town...

..me .. hubby and his wife sailed through and looked behind and they've got him stopped and they pull a film container out of his side pocket on his combats....

...all 3 of us went aw..

S...he wouldn't would he..?..

..but..he hadn't....
Last time I came back through Newcastle they were testing brand new super scanners that you don't need to separate electricals and you can carry liquids. I knew I'd get pulled into that queue...

..so I got a luggage scan..a body scan..a footwear scan...and a body frisk that nearly freed me boobs from me bra....
Gawd..did that girl go for it...

..bearing in mind..I deliberately don't wear underwired bras through the airport..so I don't set scanners off..and flat shoes coz they do make you take boots off.
I actually don't mind..I'd never carry owt through an airport..and the tighter security..the safer i am really....

..
When I fly I get cramp..so I do a magnesium spray pre airport to prevent it... magnesium shows on airport scanners as Heavy Metals...so you do normally get stopped for that....
