The Trollkiller shirt is because I promised I would wear it the next time I flew so my "fans" would know it is me.
If I get a pat down I will be goofing on the poor soul that has to do it. This is just my way, try to get a laugh. Don't be surprised if I ask them to scratch my back. Just so they don't feel special I also goof on my Doctor when he has to give me the ol' hidee-ho treatment.
If you want to get a pat down "forget" something metalic in your pocket; or get the more extensive pat-down by claiming a pace-maker. If you want your bag checked, leave a bottle water in in. Note, the more extensive pat-down will have you remove everything from your pocket, including your wallet. At that point, since you did not send your wallet through the wtmd, it has to be screened by x-ray or a hand check. I often hand check the wallet right there, so that the passenger can see me do it, and so his wallet never leaves his sight. I find a handfull of weapons in wallets every year. Go figure.
As far as random things, those processes are up since dec 25th. Maybe you will get lucky?
