Re: TSA and flying in the USA again
Here is my take on this. I am an airline pilot and go through the TSA several times a week. All I can say is that there is NO standardization with the TSA. One city may ask you to do one thing and the very next day a different city will ask something else. And of course they will look at you cockeye...
