thanks for the report from the field. It's good to get feedback from those who have actually gone as opposed to "what's supposed to happen" based on TSA website. For us the key will be to be prepped for the extra scrutiny and get used to being treated like we were terrorists posing as head & neck cancer patients.
I have to remind myself these mindless minions have no sense of humor even though they have never stopped a real terrorist yet. I love the TSA official blog site which has great stories about all the drug smugglers they catch because cocaine registers as an explosive on their little sniffers. TSA even treats this as catching terrorists in their statistics. Especially poignant though are TSA's official pronouncements on why they search grandmothers in wheelchairs so I guess I will just suck it up when we go.
