One time I got through security with no problems, sat there and waited for my plane in the terminal with no problems and then when they called boarding they pulled ME and ONLY me aside for an additional security screening. It was just me and my 2 year old....like we had this evil plan to blow up a plane in Omaha. Come on now. It was so embarrassing. One man on the plane did tell me he was sorry that happened to me.
