Anyways. To this day I've never been searched at a gate anywhere conus "knock on wood". I've been searched at luke on the way out, but that was a 100% search and they just opened our back doors and kept going down the line of cars.... was very weird.

From what I learned, there was a real problem with other kids bringing marijuana on base. If they saw a teenager, it was likely to be searched. Dad said he had never been stopped and searched for some strange reason.
When we lived on base at Hickam, AFB in the very early 1970s, I would ride my bike over to the Navy base because they had a better hobby shop. Traveling from one military base to another still required me stop, and show my ID. I was not allowed to take a camera onto the Navy base. They had lots of ships docked at Pearl Harbor, and some of them were open and exposed during maintenance and they did not want photos. They would open the bag of stuff I bought at the hobby shop and inspect it. The funny thing to me is I could buy glue at the Navy base hobby shop, but at the Hickam hobby shop I had to have my mom buy it for me.
