I carry a TSA cares card outlining my PTSD, my prosthetic and my pins (dv and cancer survivor). At first I felt like this was a waste of time. But as I set off detectors almost every day going into my courthouse, I've gotten used to letting unfamiliar guards know that they need to wand me because I have pins. This saves a lot of time when I go through TSA because I don't have to go through the monitor and then deal with the beeping and then step over to the side to have them wand me again. Sometimes they'll ask me the area that may go off and I can just let them know my spine and my neck.

I was once delayed on a flight, and had just a few minutes to get all the way across Heathrow for my connecting flight. I literally ran all the way, and was screened on arrival at my gate. I was sweaty and anxious, and they picked up on it. They took EVERYTHING out of my bag, even checking between the pages of the book I'd brought for my flight. Fortunately, the plane waited for me and I made the connection. :)

Pay the $85 for 5 yr TSA PreCheck. No unpacking of computer devices or shoes. Much less hassle.

You're still at the whim of the TSA supervisor who can change the rules even the precheck rules. One airport I frequent they want my belt off against precheck regs. Just because some peoples belts set off the magnetometer.

@davidcole333 18 күн бұрын

If you use PreCheck 1 time, it is still absolutely worth it. Over a period of 5 years, there is a high probability that it will save your butt more than once from missing a flight due to otherwise long security lines.

That’s all fine and dandy and I do have the TSA pre ✅but at Boston Logan after a 35 day cruise and I had one small carryon, they asked if I had human remains in my bags and of course I didn’t; they took everything out of that bag and I barely made my flight as they were getting ready to close the gate. It was chocolate in my bag🤦‍♀️ I was livid but I was fortunate that I did make my flight. Side note: they also stopped a gentleman in front of me and did him the same way.

I think an important Hint is to look up the baggage allowances on all the airlines your travelling on in a trip. Big differences in size and weight. So check it out before you leave. The big carry on only craze is not working for me . Those are now suitcases. And making no room left at all for any one with a small carry on, and now have to even pay for carry on because of the craze ! as so many people are doing it. Geez. And the backpacks etc. - the personal items bags are bigger than my carryon ever was! and all up top too, with jackets and bags of snacks. Over and over no room/Made into a madness. idk maybe airlines fault for going with pay for checked luggage vs building it into the price of the airfare . I am old and it is just sad. Does anyone remember when flying was , in economy, a nice, treated well, comfortable , experience.

I also wear a pair of throwaway orphan socks through the detector. We all have them....... They're either in a huge pile on top of your dryer, whether in a laundry basket over in the corner...... As if the dryer gremlin is ever going to return the matching sock the plastic lids they have disappeared😂 I have no intention of taking these nasty things back home and doing anything with them. Also, if you are already cleared through the scanner and your luggage is on the other side, for heaven's sake, pick up the bin and move to the bench that is out of the way of everyone else!

Yes TSA agents observes you as soon as you approach those lines leading to the check-in counter until you board the plane .I use to work at the airport in Germany and because we were working with American airlines like Delta and Continental airlines we had to take those trainings on how to spot potential red flag passengers , what to say and how you interact with passengers .Normal German airlines don't do this.Yes one of our jobs was to observe the people ,observe the cleaners on what they bring to the aircraft and observe the passengers at the waiting area for boarding .

If you travel with backpacks you use often, empty them entirely before an airport trip, so you are not unpleasantly surprised that the x-rays detected a knife, fork or corkscrew you used last weekend.

One of the great comments here is that the screeners are not law enforcement officers, even though they want you to believe this. In fact the TSA had the name of the position changed from "screener' to "TSA Officer". Why, because the screeners said they were not be respected by the traveling public. Although they may wear a badge, sewn on to their outer garment, they are not law enforcement officers, they cannot arrest you or physically detain you...that's right, they do not have the authority to put hands on you...that's why the narrator saiid, the TSA calls the local police to handle situations needing LEO's

Pro tip: Don’t put only your phone or wallet in the bins where everyone can see them. Put them in a jacket pocket, purse or fanny pack and then put that as your last item into the machine and don’t leave it until it goes all the way in. Then greet the TSA guy who gives you permission to walk through the scanner. My boss got his laptop stolen in the security line.

Do you have the right to keep with you your money in a belt ? Usually they obligate to put in to screen it I was robed twice and they did not putbit through the screen but aoart then I reakize they open the belt but I was not allowed to reclaim. They know how to intimidate passengers they told me i had to put the belt with the mobey in the tray

I have had precheck for eight years. I have been selected for random selection 80% of my flights. My wife twice in eight years. That's way beyond statistical probability. There is nothing random about random selection. I must be a scary veteran, retired first responder and commercial pilot.

this will sound picky and I am sorry but...we travel Princess mostly. We are also people that use our staterooms a lot. Consequently we use room service a lot. And the room service food is awful. I was sick for ten days on my last cruise and was forced to eat room service food. Not only was it very limited but it was poorly made and thrown together. eg: twice I ordered chef salad. The first time was pretty good...on lettuce was ham, turkey, cheese and egg. Second time it was lettuce and about a tablespoon of cheddar cheese. That was it. The sandwich bread was so dry you would choke on it.. I wish they would fix it.
