  • Out of interest, what actually happened?

    There was a particular code of letters printed on the boarding card which, after a few flights, it became obvious was a code to indicate additional security checking. It was nothing major, just at every airport we were selected for additional searching (e.g. being frisked and using the hand held metal detector as well as the walk through type). At one point I was concerned I was going to be subjected to a more intimate seach :eek: but fortunately it didnt happen
