    I know a guy who flies 747s and he still has to take his shoes off. He told them, all I have to do is push the stick forward..... but no, off come the shoes.

      Speaking of streakers, do they turn up at the airport? /me puts on the voyeur glasses, and takes a seat next to Nishant.

        True but we did get to the front of all the queues when people saw cases with bright orange stickers saying "explosives" and "firearms" all over them.

          Take it out and put it on the tray. That's all.

            Basically there were 9 of us in a group of 12 (the other 3 were WAB - wives and brothers) shooting in the 07 World Championships so had to get our shotguns out there.

                  I didn't know US airport security measures have gone that far, now that's too bad for the people around me when I go back to US.

                      Anytime things seem bad as a software developer, just remember: You could be the one checking the shoes (or worse) ;P

                          Was in the middle of revising for my last exam of the term so couldn't be bothered with coming up with anything cool, sorry.

                            Good luck, and if you pass, you best come back here and make up an awesome story.

                              If I pass then I have another year left of the degree then have my job offer to accept which is near London - to qualify again I'd have to make regular trips back to Wales. Possible but the way things are going I have little time to do anything... Suppose it's good in a way.

                                You have to take the laptop out of its case, so the case and the laptop go through the x-ray machine separately. That's all. No need to turn it on, etc. The biggest PITA is not the electronics, but having to take off your shoes. Wear something easy to remove and put back on. Go barefoot. Whatever. :) Marc
