I have two fake knees.

I had gotten used to the normal pat-down wanding deal and always budgeted some extra time for it.

Boy have things changed the last few weeks....at my smallish airport I got patted down like never before--very intrusive so much so I figured I'd start asking for a privacy room.

On the way home they had the body scanners (an MMW).....they just waved me through. For the first time in years I made it through security before hubby! I loved it!
