The cop goes over and tells them, hey you don't need to do that unless you're selected for additional screening, and motions them off the wall. The two guys look totally relieved and happy that the haven't been selected again and start walking down the gate.
First guy walks past the cop, second guy is just about to, and the cop puts his hand up, stops him and motions him to the wall. Guy number 2 got selected for the 'random' search anyway!
Man, the look on guy number two's face.....
