One thing TSA won't have to do tomorrow, is screen gov't top level officials such as "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and FBI Director Robert Mueller to congressional leaders like incoming House Speaker John Boehner" as they are exempted from the new procedures.

Why should these folks be exempted? Seems to me if it's good for the US public, then we should expect that these gov't VIPs also should be going through the procedures as well....

you may be right, I think another element to the day should be more civil disobediance, carry large bottles of water and leave them in carry-on, leave metal in pockets for multiple WTMD attempts (then opt outs), not just opt outs to be treated 'second' but lots of 'forgetting' the 'rules'...

Well whatever they do, there's only a few short hours left until gametime. The anticipation is almost palpable...
Anyone else getting their popcorn ready? I'm going to be tuned in to this forum and others all day at work tomorrow. Here's to hoping for a great victory for the cause, and a great victory for America! *raises drink*

I've got some news for you... the TSA has been charging you $2.50 per enplanement for nearly a decade. If you examine any ticket you've bought recently, it should have a line marked "September 11th Security Fee" or "AY." The airline just collects the money as part of your ticket purchase and remits it to the TSA.
The charge is levied per enplanement, so if you take a 4-segment roundtrip, you just paid $10 for the privilege of being scanned, ogled, and/or groped.

The TSA has already won the battle for tomorrow. No matter how long the lines are, they will blame the NOODists. I'm nervous that a large percentage of Kettles end up missing their flights and blame the NOODists, whether or not anyone actually opts out. The media will eat it up.
