Re: OT: Air travel carry on restrictions - what's next?

That's right, it is an every time thing. Sometimes they just do the wand
thing which I don't mind, but it is every time. I understand why. With the
exception of the one time when they didn't have a chair so I could sit down
to take my shoes off and put them back on and they acted as if I were a
terrorist when I started to walk toward a seat a short distance away, I have
always been polite and tolerant of it. That doesn't mean I have to like it!

Barb,

It is must be a personality thing, because I think it is a small price
to pay. I travel a LOT and while I have never been patted down in this
country, I have been patted down in many foreign countries and by men.
When I take Nina and her wheelchair, then she is patted down and
doesn't seem to mind.

I guess I just wanted to hear you say the words and I guess I just
wanted to say that I am surprised that you would feel so violated.

Janice, I think her joint replacements trigger the alarms, probably
every time (my aunt's did). It's got to get old. I wouldn't like it
either, but I'd do it, of course.
