Off topic, but my most interesting security experience was in an airport in Germany. The next to last security checkpoint was to get into the seating area before getting on the plane. The guy working security for that area was not interested in viewing any security identification or paperwork. He would simply talk to people.
I am generally a fairly stoic and patient person, and I'm not sure if he thought I was suspicious, or if he just had trouble getting a read on me, but he talked to me FOREVER! He was trying to discuss the Dallas Cowboys and all sorts of crazy things with me. He didn't seem to be the least bit concerned about the line of people behind me.
I finally unconsciously let out a sigh. He immediately stopped talking mid-sentence, and he sent me through. I guess I finally displayed the proper form of impatience.
