    Cannot wait to see if Nike stands by their man now that the game has changed and the scorecard numbers are much, much higher. Don't they think women will be a little, um, teed off at the gross, unfettered, wanton, entitled sexual appetite (fine unless you're a MARRIED PUBLIC FIGURE).

    I plan to travel with a glitter crafted 'I Heart Osama' piece in my luggage with the intent of getting the attention of plenitude of snarky TSA workers who'll let me pass after having a hearty laugh.

    As an unlikely backup I'm prepared for multiple cavity searches though I hardly think that doomsday plan will ever see the light of day.

    The only time I got a secondary screening was when I was running late to a connecting flight (had to grab my luggage and go to another terminal because one was a domestic flight and the other was international) AND found out that my original flight had been canceled and was now flying an US airline that would not give me free booze and was leaving... now at another terminal. I started crying because boarding had already started. The NSA officials handed me tissues, and after they heard I was crying because I was no longer flying BA told me how to sneak booze onto my flight.

    Just saying that they're not all bad.

    re #4 - When I was in the Navy, I definitely got extra screening more when in uniform than not. Never got extra screening in civvies, and got extra screening three times in uniform.

    I watched them do a secondary screening on an elderly woman at JFK last week. It absolutely sickened me. The poor dear looked terrified. Who the F decides this shit?

    Right after 9/11, when they were "selecting" people for extra screening right there at the boarding gate, I remember being held up by TSA folk nitpicking through the garment bag and carry-on of a distinguished older gentleman. It turned out to be Ray Charles.

    I have no faith whatsoever in TSA.

    That disabled rule must be new, because I remember seeing a wheelchair-bound Vietnamese grandmother being pulled aside to have her possessions swabbed a few years ago. Must stop the Viet Cong infiltrators!

    @Claire Buoyant: I think under these rules they still test the possessions of the disabled, they just don't inspect their wheelie-chair cushions, their prosthetics, or their dressings (ewww!!!).

    Did they check dressings before?Because I take off my band-aids for no man.

    why do they make my 4 yo take off his shoes? He can't tie them himself and it holds up the whole damn line. That's why mommy drinks on the plane.

    @sanyucat: They thought I was a terrorist when I was 9, years before 9/11. Swabbed my little 9-year-old backpack and everything. It was just me and my mom, flying from Atlanta to Orlando to go to Disney World. They didn't swab my mom.
