I only have a sample of one round trip (ORD-LAX-ORD). I do look like someone that will fit the profile and I even have a beard. Before my flights everyone that knew I was about to fly suggested that I should at least shave my bread off or cancel my flight (it was a "fun" trip planed long ago). I refused to shave my beard, or cancel the trip, on principle (I'm not going to let a few evil people impact my life, at least as much as I can help it).

I had anticipated to be heavily questioned and searched. I had no problems, as far as I was concerned it was even easier (except for the LAX Lot-B deal) than before (less people in the airport and almost everyone was extremely nice). I was flight on UA and I'm a 2P, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with why I wasn't questioned or searched.

Good luck,
