This usually happens without warning, so what do you think TSA will do to me if during this happens? Am I subject to a visit to the "room"? Should I give them advance warning?

I realize some may find this amusing, but I'm really concerned about how I will be treated if this happens, not to mention a bit mortified and embarrassed over the orderal.
That's one of the reasons why I don't fly any more. I tend to hurl when pawed. Unlike you, I can usually feel it coming for a while before the urge becomes overwhelming. I worry about BDO's interpreting my "gonna hurl" facial expression as some kind of threat display. The TSA's BDOs seem to be dumber than stumps.

I wouldn't warn 'em. It'll make 'em more abusive. Just scan for a place to barf, such as a trashcan. I hope you make it.
