Thanks guys for the support. I'm writing the ACLU now and will wait till my "foia" report is back for my congressman women and send her all the details.

Yes, what peeves me the most that this is been going on for six month and in their email they state "there is no-one I can talk to or write directly" that is absurd as American Citizen. And once they do write you (believe this, I just got their snail mail letter yesterday, six month after my redress). Yes I'm truly embarrassed and been ridiculed to be molested to enter my own country but I'm not a prude and can live with it. I just never will use mia again (ewr and lax officers are real humans who actually care) But, having no-one to call, listen or help me work out the problem (I volunteered to fly anyplace needed at my own expense to be interviewed again if necessary) and the apathy of DHS and their redress program (which appears to me to be totally understaffed or a gimmick to appease harassed travelers) is greatly disturbing to me as my own country.

If anyone has knows anyone in DHS or have some private thoughts please PM me and I can send more details (don't want to bore you more here).

Since this is my first post let me give you some useful info. Just back on Asiana 'business class" to Seoul and Manila and I flew their 777. It has the OLD business class but I hear their 747's have the new lay flat sears that are staggered. I would recommend this plane (are two flights a day from LAX) for I never could really get comfy in these seats. From Seoul to Mnl is a airbus 330 with the same seats of the 777. Asiana is a step behind but was my only choice with "Star Alliance miles" (120,000) and of course Singapore Air had no availability.

Seoul (Inchon) is an amazing airport and no only free wi-fi the whole airport but comfy and interesting. Of course Manila is a disaster, but that is the Philippines.

A side note, I just bought the new mac book air (11' model, amazing and the perfect travel companion) and read on other sites it was so small it was considered a gadget and not needed to bring out of bag when doing security. Well, not true and at lax when checking in cost me 10 minutes to have it sent through alone after the marked my bag for secondary screening (my life story). I told the TSA guy it was not needed and quizzed him if he new what it was? Well, the kid said he sold them at Best Buy AND ALL LAPTOPS must be screened separately. Shut me up real quick :-)

Thanks again for the input ...
