    Also, don’t wear a trench coat, you will be judged as a terrorist and frisked vigorously.

    If you’re a guy, and have long hair, expect yet another vigorous frisking.

    If you’re a guy, and have both of those traits, expect a vigorous , somewhat invasive frisking while two tsa agents wave your underwear around for all to see. They will also handle and unfold all of the clothing in your carry on.

    I guess what I’m saying here is I like trains.
