I fly all the time and I can tell you, they frequently do search through your bags.....




IMuscot1, when I said "THOROUGHLY searched" I meant when they ask you to haul your bags into an examination room, where they ask you questions while they are slowly picking apart the contents of your bags, counting your socks and looking through your personal papers for evidence that you are up to no good. On one of the two times this has happended to me, they did a strip search too (no cavity search thank god).

And of course they refused to tell me (and they have no obligation to tell me anything) why exactly I was singled out for special attention.

So this kind of search is still pretty rare I think.

Of course my carry ons and screened checked bags are routinely pawed through by half asleep minimum wage (federal) secruity workers, just like everybody's. But they really don't seem to be trying very hard to find anything in particular. Certainly they do not seem interested in prescription medication.
