My last trip to SXM on 2 of the legs PER check was stamped on my boarding pass and I went through the expedited line. I never signed up for it and no one could give me an answer why my boarding pass was stamped with it.
SXM??? Wendell
I have had this happen as well but only domestically, never on an international flight. I am of the opinion that much of the airport security operation is smoke and mirrors designed to make you feel safe without doing anything. I know of someone who got a box cutter through three security checks (unintentionally) before it was caught at the fourth. A new employee put it in the wrong box for our convention supplies (carry on vs. mailed ahead) so it was a truly innocent mistake, but one can do far from innocent things with it.
Carol's point on paying more for less security is right on target.
