Sorry if there is confusion. You have to go down the page and ckick on the link that says INTERACTIVE "You be the airport baggage screener." They will run you through the process and you can rate yourself on how you can spot weapons, organic materials, etc.

Wouldn't work for me. They have to be polite to passengers.

Wow, I got 100%. But that was after several tries. Nearly flipped my turban when I saw my score!

Mine was only 25% with 2 false alarms. Everyone was getting mad at me too.

LOL.... I only saw one thing, a gun. And with that one thing, got a 50% score.

As far as REAL baggage screening, I wouldn't want to smell the SMELLY FEET of hikers!! (such as myself at DIA one month ago... LOL!! I TOLD THEM THEY'D BE **SORRY** IF THEY MADE ME TAKE MY BOOTS OFF!!!)

DIA is pretty tough. However, when actually getting on Frontier Airlines, no one wanted to search my carry-on backpack. But they did with Mr. Dredlock Hair.... go figure?????
