Flew tonight from Charlotte to LA. Got the full pat down treatment from TSA. Twice.

But did I complain? Hell no.

One of their people who stayed with me the whole time had been a Marine, who knew exactly what I was talking about when I described armored cavalry ops in Vietnam.

For some reason, something on my person cued them to explosives. I don’t know what. But after being surrounded by 8-10 TSA types including their “Explosive Expert”, who asked me a bunch of key questions, I somehow felt better knowing they were on their toes.

I was very cooperative and it was no problem at all.

33 passengers on a cross-country flight? Man, I need to stop flying in Delta’s cattle cars.
