1. I'm supposed to travel at the end of the month.
I'm debating with myself about how much torment I can legally get away with at security.

3. Just tell 'em you're packing! They'll be examining the right stuff soon enough.

11. Actually, you've nailed it!1 The past 2 yrs I flew abt 6 times, so I'm a newbie,
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 04:44 PM by UTUSN
so in a couple of big hubs, my line would jerk to a stop occasionally. When I could see why, it was for "randomly" selected pat downs. So the dude in front of me, let's say BEAT me in every category: Age, height, fitness -- get the picture?!1

So, the TSA brought the line to a stop while he made sure that WMD were not paper-thin over any part of the dude's body. So it looked like the exam was over and the dude started tentatively to proceed through. But the TSA stopped him, saying, "Hold on, let me get your back..." and had a little smile of SATISFACTION on his face. To be plain, it looked like he was self-indulging.

So finally it was my turn to step up, and I started to halfway lift my arms. The TSA said, "That's all right. Go on through!1" with a little ewww look on his face.

I really think that some TSAs recompense themselves with the power to get a touchy feel.

5. First step: buy a ticket.. Second step: wrap your junk in tinfoil.
Third step: linger for a few seconds in the magnetometer.

Works every time for me.

7. Fifth step: Do NOT mistake a microwave for the magnometer.
Your foil wrapped junk will go up in FLAMES. :nuke:

13. I travel frequently
In fact, I'm sitting in Phoenix SkyHarbor Airport right now on my way to Santa Barbara from Kansas City Int'l this AM, with stopovers in Salt Lake City and LAX (yeah, I know, crazy connections). I have never been patted down but once in Barcelona, when a silver bracelet I wore set off the metal doo-hickey thing and a very attractive Spanish TSA-equivalent lady patted me down. Only time EVAH. Never even been through the all-body x-ray whatchamacallit, I'm always waved to the side through the regular metal-detector thing.

However, some interesting suggestions here in this thread. Hmmmm . . .

15. you got me, i'm pretty old and they're still pretty frisky with me
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 06:11 PM by pitohui
i look pretty easy-going and i think sometimes they're thinking, oh cheeze i gotta do so many patdowns etc. per hour, that one looks like she has a sense of humor

with a user name like utusn, i don't know what the "ut" would be, but i just picture some big scary navy guy with lots of muscles, while i'm sure your "junk" is very attractive, it may also be a little bit intimidating to someone who just wants to go thru the motions at work without encountering too much blowback

patdown the big navy dude or pat down the 50 year old, what's less scary?
