I guess I don't understand how strip-searching you helps them determine if your sax cases are hiding drugs.  :-/ 

Security theater at its finest.

Years ago, before 9/11, I was actually strip-searched coming back into the US through La Guardia. I was young, and I had tenor and soprano saxes as carry-ons; I guess in the squinty-eyed suspicious world of airport security I very likely was a drug-smuggler.
