I have a TSA laptop friendly bag, that zips open and lays flat w/ computer inside and visible. 3 out of 4 agents thought that was good enough. The other one took it out {That reminds me of a Seinfeld episode}.
Normally they would make me take it out, but since I have TSA Pre Check I just left it in my bag when it went through the metal detector, along with my liquids. Also left my shoes and belt on ;)
Totally got detained on my way back from vacation last time. Kind-of sort-of accidentally attempted to smuggle throwing knives in my carry-on. Oops, nice catch TSA.
Last time, I was randomly selected for the Pre Check lane. And I got a free first class upgrade. On the other side of that coin, I was on my way to Fargo. (And, no, no one there had heard of Meh.)
Last time I flew, I randomly got waved in to the fast lane so I didn't have to do any of the normal stuff. Unfortunately that was the extent of my good luck that day, my flight was delayed 6 hours because because the first plane we were supposed to board had a toilet that wouldn't stop flushing.

Many months ago but I still have groping nightmares. I do miss those fingernail clippers.

@walarney no one there when knows what the internet is.
I tell TSA I won't go through the "porno scanner" and I "opt out"
I find this funny because then some TSA guy has to touch my balls.

The last time I flew, the TSA.... got mad at me because I asked for my free "full body" massage. "Sick bastard" we're the words used.

@zacatac now that was a shitty flight
@zacatac That doesn't seem so bad compared to the opposite problem.
