TSA Experiences

recently i've had several so-so experiences in the kansas city airport, and pretty good experiences in miami (again) and atlanta. just got through security in atlanta and they gave me my cane back before i even had to go through the metal detector, and didn't force me to do the full-body scanner. on the downside, i had to stand in an enormously long line which was really painful (sometimes they allow me to go in the shorter line so i don't have to stand) - but it's my own fault, i should have just gotten a wheelchair.

my bag did get searched a couple of times in kansas city and miami - i think it's because i have a beaded worry pouch necklace with an arrowhead attached to it, it might have showed up as a sharp object on the scanner or something. they didn't confiscate anything, but it was pretty inconvenient.
