Airport security procedures

  It is really a shame that we have to do so much more for airport security than we did in the past. It is probally better to be alive and able to complain than to be on a slab at the coronor's office due to a terrorist act. When you go through security, you must take off your jacket, your shoes, empty your pockets of any metal contents, be sure that you are not carrying liquids on to the airplane, and have everything x-rayed for security reasons. You have to watch your language also. Do not say "Hi Jack", bomb, gun or anything that could refer to a weapon.

 If you do not have a current photo identification card or drivers license, you may be blocked from boarding an airplane. If you buy water of food after you pass through security, you can usually take it on board with you. Electronic devices are banned from use during a flight. They might interfere with airplane navigation controls. The aisles are very small, so do not plan on taking a walk while flying in the air. The restrooms are like miniature closets. If you are big, you could get stuck inside of one. Air travel is quick and efficient, but going through security is a drag on your time.

 If you are handicapped, try to be one of the first passengers to board and one of the last to leave the airplane. This way you do not get forced into a crowded situation where you could be injured. The flight staff on the airplane are very polite and cordial. Respect the other passengers on your flight. You will find your flight to be very enjoyable.
