starladyWaiting for the clock to tick down so I can check in for my flight tomorrow (why oh why did I book the absolute last flight out Sunday night? oh wait my alternative was the 6 am redeye. Just watch, next week I will post on here reiterating "never book the last flight out on a Sunday, and that goes triple for Thanksgiving" to myself).
There's been a lot of talk about the new TSA regulations and procedures; I point you toumadoshi's link post about the TSA and what you can do, and I also point you to this petition demanding that the TSA allow flyers the privacy to which we are entitled, organized by Flyers Rights, an organization that's been doing some useful things for the past year or so.
Good luck and good travel, everyone who's traveling!
ETA: It turns out tomorrow is National Opt-Out Day. I'm certainly never going to argue that people should voluntarily submit to being molested, but you deserve to know why people around you are doing it in droves on the busiest travel day of the year. I'll be flying out of a fairly small airport; I'm not sure it even has the virtual strip search machines yet, so I'll be making my own decision about this when I get there (two hours early, I'm aiming for). /eta
