I'll never forget the first time I checked in at SFO International, back
in 1996. They were rebuilding the whole place such that the security
gates had been placed in the middle of a large room. Of course, one had
to pass through these gates but, as is customary, you were not supposed
to take bags through the checkpoint. What happened was that I gave my bag
to one of those officers, then went through the gate, then was given back
my bag which was not being checked at all...
Cheers,
Stefan.
