I'll admit it. I do.

Like many folks here, I travel with a lot of electronics. Many TSOs are inordinately fascinated by bags full of electronics, and I just plain got tired of the full monte bag search.

Now I have my own security theatre. I switched to a belt buckle that I know will set off the WTMD every time -- it's a brass military belt buckle, so I can remove just the buckle and leave the belt on. I put it in plain sight in a bin. Then I pull my old dogtags out of my shirt, so the TSO can see 'em. Next, I make sure the military nametape and wings on my briefcase show, gimp my way throough the WTMD, and PRESTO, no bag checks anymore.

I get lots of "thank you for your service" remarks, which is a heckuva lot better than all the DY...T I used to get, hahahaha!
