This is my first time flying since 1990. I hear the weather is nice in Gitmo this time of year :P

7. I voted for Kerry (barf), and have associated with Quakers.
having "Bush? Nicht mein Feurher!" as a sig might not help either.

6. You'll be fine.
After all the subversive shit I always post here, you would think I would be on it. Plus I rent my spare bedroom to foreign students who are always coming and going and have to give us as their home addy to the feds to get their student visa. After all that I do a hundred thousand miles a year in the air, and am not on the list, so I think you will be OK...

9. for what it is worth
a number of times in a row that I have flown since 911, and since posting on DU - I was always singled out for the extra "search" ala 'step over here, Maam'. I was getting a bit of a complex, to tell you the truth...

Flew a couple of months ago with no flagging for the extra search. Guess I am not on a 'list' afterall... ;-)

17. For the security checkpoint, don't wear too much metal (belt buckles,
too many studs in jeans, brass buttons..).take all overcoats off and remove shoes when going though the xray walk through .... Place your objects and carryons in the big bins they have for the rolling surface through the xray.(It will remind you of the grocery check out stand) Don't have anything suspicious looking in your carry-ons, no honey, (yes, honey!) Have your boarding pass and ID in hand when you go through the Xray walk through because you will have to flash those to several agents. Gather your belongings on the other side and have a great flight.

You will do just fine. I do this at least 20 times a month.
