Might be in how/when you booked the flight and who you were or were not with. When I'm flying alone on business and have to book on short notice with credit card on the net...I get singled out for full searches at every damned leg of the flight. It's f****** assinine after the first one or two legs, but it is also obvious that it is some sort of standard profile they have based on age, booking time, booking method, initial flight time, number of folks, luggage etc. Any terrorist with an IQ over 80 could figure out how to probe and circumvent the system. The current profiling does not make me feel more safe.

I try not to fly anything under 500 miles. Isn't worth the time or hassle until I hit about 500. I would rather get the mileage money and save the inconvenience and cancelled flights.
