Have you ever been frisked?

Once at the Salt Lake, Utah airport (by the way that's abreviated S.L.UT). The guard wanted to make sure that the steel arches of my Whites Boots was not a concealed weapon of some sort.

Yes, folks we are living in a police state no matter where you are.No, i havent been frisked,but have been lucky so far. Get Alex Jones new video,Police State 2000, at infowars.com What would the Founding Fathers say to all this"frisking" Havent you coppers got anything better to do?
 
I only frisk people for safety purposes. I don't frisk everyone I come into contact with. It depends on the situation. I don't think the founding fathers would have a problem with it. It is perfectly fine by the 4th and 14th amendment. There is a big difference between a search and a frisk.

I fully understand what Dennis said. Our situation was that of annoyance, loud noise, and breaking the park rules.
We deserved to be in trouble. Arrested would have a different matter, and the LEO's knew it. We were polite, disarming ang very cooperative.
I had a lot of respect for the LEO's that pulled up on us. We could have been really bad dudes, but they wouldn't have known it until it was too late. We made it easy for the guys.
They were good guys to let us off, and they were right in questioning us as to how much we had to drink. They were also right in checking out my CCW.
In see the balance in "rules" as we establish them, and those who have to enforce them.
I'm just happy I don't live west or east of where I am. I just may be a antique in my own right.
I am, however, aware and prepared for a potential police state. That happens and America is gone.

Yes, several times. Nothing found however. Years ago, I entered a jewelry store in downtown Chicago. I had just come from a pool room in the Rush Street area and had my cue, in its black leather case, under my left arm. As I entered, the door behind me automatically locked and several armed men came from a back room with guns drawn. The police were summoned, I was searched with no result. It was explained my cue case was assumed to be a short barreled weapon and I looked like a suspicious character. Oh well.
 
Willie Boy: that pool cue pouch sure resembles one made for a pistol grip shotgun. While waiting for a bus leaving from work one day, a gentleman and his ladyfriend approached and asked where the pool hall was. I guess they thought the pouch that was tucked under my arm was a pool cue!!

Too funny.

A local night club I used to go to pat gave pat downs at the door. I keep my 4 inch folder clipped to the side of my brief where the leg meets the torso witha binder clip. Never been caught.

I got frisked once by security at the Seattle Tacoma airport after the metal in my suspenders and belt buckle set made me beep, even though I'd emptied my pockets into the little tray. He even had me take off my hat to make sure it didn't have anything nasty hidden under it besides my mind.

He ignored the Benchmade 820 and the Leatherman Wave in the little tray.

And I must go to different concerts than other folks. Five this summer, and no metal detectors, no frisking, just somebody collecting tickets. ;-)

In my bad old days I was frisked and searched by LEO's a number of times. I can't really remember how many. Probably frisked more than 10 but less than 20 times. I didn't normaly carry weapons back then, I was into other illegal things.

Once in San Francisco, I was popped for marijuana, less than an ounce, a misdemenor. While one plainclothes detective questioned me and wrote my ticket another gave me a pretty thorough frisk looking for more drugs. They kept asking me if I had anything else on me and I kept assuring them I didn't. After they left I showed my friends, who were discretely standing by, the joint I had been holding in my hand the entire time.

Once again, this was in the old days.

Many years ago(25-30) while a teen and before and before going on the "righteous" path I was walking with a group of friends when we were stopped. We all were patted down. A couple had a knive that was popular back then though I haven't seen one in years.We called it he K-55 because of the handle markings. It was actually not a bad knife,all metal,very flat,decent lock. Both were inside wallets although protruding slightly and both were missed.
I was patted down,had no weapons on me then was asked to show what was in the paper shopping bag I was carrying.I opened it partially to show the sneakers(remember them) on top and said we were just at the gym.All our names were taken down then we were let go.
In the bag under the sneaker I had two loaded revolvers.
