We were on the Sunshine out of Charleston in September. The process was fairly straight forward, as part of the queue, a group of embarking passengers would all drop their carry-ons on this painted line, then step back against the rail. Officer Sniffy would wander up the line of bags and back down. If he didn't sit down (alert), the group was told to pick up their bags and enjoy their vacation, then the next group filed through. It was maybe 20ppl per group as you went through the security line. I think it was before the metal detectors, too, but I am not certain. I think of the 3 or 4 groups I could see while in the queue, only a few individual bags got pulled. I didn't really feel that it impeded our embarkation. Being a dog person, I really wanted to give Officer Sniffy some lovins because it was obvious he's a good boy, but I knew he was working and therefore not allowed. Only smelled weed once on the cruise, and that was when we passed through the smoking area on deck 10 while going to check out the waterpark and sports area. The bigger impedance was immediately after we passed through the metal detectors and were maybe 20ft away, someone had an "ALL STOP" alert from the screener. So, we played statue for about 10 minutes. Luckily, we happened to be standing next to one of the security personnel when it happened, so we chatted with him and learned what the "ALL STOP" meant.
