Husband got Strip Searched at Heathrow!

[Haworthfamily]

Hello all
I picked up Husband from Heathrow last night, he had been working in Nice.

As he came through the security gateway on the way to Nice he bleeped realising he'd left his wallet in his back pocket took it out bleeped again, wedding ring off, bleeped again, belt off, bleeped again, shoes off, bleeped again.
Next thing........... "Excuse me sir could you step into this room."
He had to strip to his Boxers!

They apoliogised for the inconvience and explained that they had to be maticulus etc - he took it all in his stride, I would have been horrifed!

Of course my first question, instead of are you ok about the whole incident? was "I hope you were wearing clean pants!"

Glad he took it in his stride. LOL you worrying about his pants!!!

What was making him beep??

 

[carolfoy]

Please let me know what made him bleep - I'll make sure I've got some next time I go!

i would have been soooo embarressed !!

OMG I would just die!

That is so funny about the clean undies.

But I'm also glad he took it in stride as I would have I go into many secure sights and they change from day to day hour to hour. I just accept the fact that this is how it is and just do what they want with-in reason. If i think it's to bad I just leave and let my KeyOp and boss know why.

OMG I would of died!!! I hate metal detectors!!!!!!!! Once in america I was asked in a stern voice "Any video games?!" and I wimpered "No..." I was scared ever since!! Turned out it was the zips on my trousers that did it..

What made him beep???

 

[Haworthfamily]

Probably the buttons on his flies - they checked all pockets of the jeans.
They did make him also go through his wallet section by section as that was in his pocket when the scanner first bleeped!

When we go to WDW in April - I think me and DD will get in a different cue to him! lol

Hi

Oh no how embarrassing. I would die of embarrasement if I had to strip my clothes. I prob would not be as embarrassed if I was not overweight.

I feel sorry for your dh.

Glad he is ok.

I was at Gatwick today returning to Glasgow and my bag was emptied and checked for explosives. Appeared that there was hightened security.
