As I'm essentially a professional traveler, I spend a lot of time going through TSA security lines and have perfected the orientation and order of my shoes, bags, laptop, etc. on the x-ray belt so that I can gather my things quickly and be on my way.

I decided to time myself the other day as I grabbed my stuff on the other side of the belt. I always travel with a rollaboard, laptop bag & laptop, Ziplock bag for liquids and usually wear slip-on dress shoes (my airport security shoes).

The time between grabbing my first item to walking away from the security area with everything in place took me 18 seconds.

Anyone else take pride in the speed of which they get through security? Time yourself and let me know your ability...I'm looking for a showdown.
