    Take your shoes off. Take your belt off. Step into the scanner. Is that bottle more than 3.4 ounces? It looks like it’s 3.42 ounces. Throw it out. Put your belt back on. Put your shoes back on. Did you pack your bags yourself? Have your bags been in your possession since you packed them? Take your shoes back off. In 2015 TSA missed 95% of weapons that a red team attempted to smuggle through security. Put your shoes back on.

      I was traveling around for a documentary shoot and got a little snippy with an agent once - I followed exact protocol for Li-Ion batteries for my drone and they didn’t know the policy. No I’m not throwing $100+ batteries away.

      I swear they put me on a list because the next 3 flights in a row I got “random searched.” So 4 random in a row total, and I only believe the first one was maybe actually random (I get grabbed a lot when I bring a pelican case).

      Yes, it’s my fault for getting snippy blah blah whatever.
