I flew home today for Thanksgiving with no problems at all. Anyone else fly?

I flew home for my Thanksgiving break to spend it at home with my family. I was scanned at the airport but no pat down (good thing because like a dummy I wore a skirt lol) I made sure that I had removed all metal and jewelry prior to going to the airport because over the years I have learned that is the best way to fly thru the process. The lines were short, it went quickly and there were no delays and certainly no protests at security in either the departing city or the arrival city.

That protest was a major dud and a fantasy created on the net but not connected to reality, see story at link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101125/ap_on_re_us/us...

Anyone else fly today? How did it go?

Update:

I guess a lot of you don't realize that the backscatter machines first began being utilized in 2007...when you know who was President?

See article from 2007: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/22/eveningn...

In addition, when I go to the beach in the summer or to a pool people get a far better look at my bod than they do from that black and white X-ray image. Get real.

    I'm glad I didn't fly today, not because of the security issues, but because NYCT was in chaos getting to one of the AirTrain stations and I certainly would have missed my flight.

    Yes, and my arms are killing me...

    P.S. That would have been one lucky pat down screener.

    P.S. If this was still the Bush admin. would you have been so accepting of this privacy intrusion?

    EDIT: I was referring to warrentless wiretapping instituted by Bush and still in place with no protest under Obama.

    Obama represents only the Wall Street crooks who trashed their economy in the first place.

    And you're his chief apologist.

    No, I didn't fly. I guess it doesn't bother you some stanger say you naked....

    Honestly, I wouldn't care either, but its not their right and they don't deserve it. Rights are important, maybe one day you will understand this.
