ugh..... airport security can be so violating and stressful.
I think Araya had a good point-- about going to an alternate airport, if possible. The east coast has so so many airports that aren't that far from each other-- it's always amazed me since in most places, out in the mid-west and west-- one has to drive(there is sketchy public transportation) two or three hundred miles to get to an alternate airport.

off topic-- I've never heard of such a thing! wonder why they don't have that kind of device on the cars where people are being chased by cops, driving 100 mph and sometimes even going the wrong direction.........
