Total amateur here, as I unpacked as soon as I got home. Granted, mainly that was because almost everything I brought needed to be washed, and I decided to do laundry as a way to stave off jet lag. So there's that.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I think Frankenbuddah is from the other side of the isle. My bag is still on the floor, mostly packed.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Did anyone else's checked bags get TSA-searched? I found a nice little "We have searched your bag" notice underneath the first layer. I hadn't even noticed that the tell-tale on the lock had been tripped.

Our wings are not tired.
One year when I sent the boys to basketball camp the TSA placed their note neatly right on top of my 'Instructions from Mom' note that I left on top in the boys' bags. I suspect they were amused by the fake instructions I had mixed with the brush your teeth and listen to your coaches instructions. I always include things like 'don't eat roadkill' to make sure the boys read the whole list.

No, but I did find out on my trip back from Seattle that a CPAP is a highly dangerous device that needs a special scan and needs to be re-run through the x-ray (insert ironic quotes as needed). I guess this isn't the case going from Boston to Seattle since they didn't mention it or remotely look twice at my baggage. I suspect the luggage check was part of the reason I completely lost track of Brenda and Sail at the terminal.

CPAP devices are listed at most of the airports I fly through as items that must be removed from carryon baggage the same as laptops, full size video game consoles, and tape based video cameras.
I just might spend too much time clearing security.

What about money clips? My money clip slowed me down. They had to go through my little butt-bag, take out the money clip (hand me my cash, but not credit cards) and rescan it. Yes, it prevented me from buying water/burger before getting on the plane, as it was I missed pre-boarding. No, what makes you think I'm bitter about it?
Omnis's bag is my bag.You have a tux too? Crap. That was 42.2 pounds. Fed Ex will love me.

My bag got searched by TSA on the way to Seattle. I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time overall it's happened to me in the past four/five years and I take on average one plane trip a year, which isn't a lot. But, I've no idea how many bags out of any flight get searched, so I don't know if that number is normal or if they're out to get me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
