....I'm out of the pocket.

It is no exaggeration to say I've gone through Pre Check over a thousand times. Today at Sea Tac was the first time they made me take out my wallet and pocket notebook while going through metal detector. And you know they were friendly about it!

Have I just been skating by, literally 99.9 percent of the time?

And Sea Tac is the worst anyway, they refuse to give dog dishes for keys and phones: "Your bag is your bowl". No, it isnt. BTW my bag is my bag...
