Today, I missed my flight because I was stopped by airport security. They found "small, suspicious, spherical objects" in my purse on the X-ray. After pulling me out of line, taking my purse aside and carefully opening it with tongs, they removed the bag of grapes I had packed as a snack. FML

You were stupid to pack grapes. There are signs like every 5 steps at airports, telling you not to bring any fresh food. You deserved it.

To all the people deriding the security personnel for being paranoid, they can't tell they're grapes just by looking at the x-ray. All they see are some ellipsoidal objects. So, they open up the purse to see what they are. Many of the above posters assume that security knew they were grapes before opening up the purse, which is a rather ridiculous assumption to make. Honestly, it's the JOB of security personnel to be paranoid. Even if they had a screening method that was 99% likely to correctly identify a terrorist or smuggler, the majority of people the method identified as possible terrorists or smugglers wouldn't be. Now, any methods they use are probably far less accurate than our hypothetical one, so by the rules of simple probability you'd expect that the majority of people stopped and searched are not, in fact, terrorists (read up on Bayes' Theorem sometime).
