    The only bad experience I have had was when they asked me to remove my Kilt (Not in a private room) so they could put it through the x-ray machine.
    This I would have made a big scene about.

    There are always women in skirts walking by and NO ONE ever asks them to remove them to pass them thru the X-Ray.

    I call BS on the part of whatever TSA emplyee suggested that.

    But then again...as I heard someone say on TV theother day, 'you don't take an IQ test to become a TSA emplyee'

    The minute someone asks me to take it off there'll be a scene. I have missed/lost flights before because I've refused to do things the TSA employees think they are allowed to ask you to do, and they are not. I know they are not allowed so I refuse to do them. They don;t want to let me through, fine, one phone call to the local TSA HQ and the situation is fixed and just to see the faces of the same TSA employees that were called on and told to let me in....was priceless.

    (reason is, working in a security firm, we get to know a lot of the security related matters decision makers in our area)

    Rex, I have an environmental cleanup project at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, so I'm going there about monthly, usually the third week of each month. If you're ever visiting the P's drop me a line and I'll see if we can coordinate a get-together.
