Please don't tell the TSA!!!
Kidding aside, nice list. The tip about putting your most valuable item through the x-ray last is a good one I hadn't thought of. (I'm usually focused on making polite suggestions to speed up the people/items in front of me without being rude, like putting the trays sideways to give everyone more room, pushing down when you get your items at the end, and reminding them to finish their beverage or of the 3 lb belt buckle they neglected to take off.)
