Here is a step in the procedure you'll want to avoid. Oooh, the Secondary Screening Area, that doesn't sound like a happy place to me.

Just so you know, you do have rights. The first sign could be intrepreted in more than one way. I think they need to work on the wording a bit, otherwise they may get some unexpected requests from depraved souls. Maybe it's their way of adding levity to the rather humiliating act of the body pat down or worse.

My musings over the airport's information monitor are suddenly interrupted when Monica arrives on scene with suitcase in tow. I decide not to freak her out with the camera, she's had a long day at work and is probably a little travel weary. Fast-forwarding to tomorrow, here she is on the Maine Coast. She's definitely a pretty woman, which reminds me, I think she looks a lot like Julia Roberts.

We drive back to the cabin in Kennebunk and hang out for a while and catch-up on things. It's been years since I've seen her. Before we retire for the evening we discuss our plans for the next few days. Nothing major agenda-wise, just chillin' at the coast and a drive inland to catch us some colorful Maine foliage.
