I've tried my best to avoid plane flight all together after 9-11, not due to a fear of terrorists but a fear of the dreaded, "Airport Security." I drive at all cost, not wanting to check my civil liberties at any airport gate. Unfortunately, my husband has won a prize from work which includes AIRFARE to Orlando, hotel and a rental car once there. AHHH! More after the fold.
I tried to get them to let us drive there but no deal so I am shopping for underwireless underwear and plastic hairclips. Too bad there isn't anything I can do about tooth fillings! After hearing about "the boob" feel-ups that they supposedly aren't doing anymore I am a bit paranoid.
My question: If someone forgets they have nail clippers have they started to haul them off to jail? My dad said over the phone today from Florida that some lady from the government came on TV and said, like the Eva Braun of the TSA, that anyone found with nailclippers will be hauled off to jail. She said people should know better by now. Could this be a reality? Has anyone come across this on their trips through the TSA gauntlet?
