It&#39;s the shoes....definately the shoes

Do you smile going through security? That&#39;s what gets &#39;em - you see, anyone who&#39;s happy at the airport *MUST* be some kind of anomaly...

I nonrev a lot and always get the dreaded "SSSS" when I take US. Do you know why this is? I am not implying that I am above getting extra searches, I just know that all the other carriers I use will always exempt airline employees.[/b]

As an airline employee, you&#39;re supposed to be exempted. I got the SSSS the other week on NW, and they couldn&#39;t figure out how to exempt me. I didn&#39;t truely care too much, but didn&#39;t like it. However, some people absolutely must be exempted, so not knowing how is no excuse.

Isn&#39;t that the truth!

Did you see the TSA is going to do gate searches again? That will get ugly!
I can see it now:

TSA-"Did you buy that water after security or bring it through the checkpoint?"

Passenger- "Hmmm?"

TSA- "Time to dump the terminal!"

Vulindlela, if you really want to sail through security. All you need do, is provide an iris and fingerprint scan and pay an annual fee of $100, plus a $28 TSA fee, and you&#39;ll breeze right through.
Fly through Airport Security

I thought those directives only applied to uniformed employees who are working, not commuting or traveling on OAL (even on company business).

The FlyClear is not set up in yet in the Delta terminals that effect most pax--like JFK, LGA , EWR and ATL.
It will be a treat for me, since I can&#39;t clear with spouse. Just a few mins extra in CVG is not worth the $$--
YET...Guess I have to wait!!

They finally got Clear lanes in JFK 2 and 3, Delta LGA--and coming soon to ATL!!
I plan to join, get my eyes scanned and whatever it takes to
"fly clear"

PS--don&#39;t expect every airport to let you thru while non-reving out of uniform and/or commuting:
both ATL and CVG have had TSA follow some vacationing employees thru the "wrong" lanes recently--2 employees were suspended for abusing the security rules.
