   Ah, but they do have a choice. The choose freely to take that job, so   
   that is why they always will have to listen to my arguments. ;)   
      
   As for X-ray, no sir, I always take the manual way. Usually, well at   
   least in some airports, that has been quicker too!   
      
   I remember once in the US, I asked a security guard about it, and he   
   sigh and said "oh, you're one of those, come with me", and he let me   
   skip about 100 meter of queue, had a quick pat down, and was on my way!
