Also - the more I travel the more I realize just how fascistic the US about air travel.

Flying out of Japan was one of the easiest security procedures I can remember.

Two vaguely official woman were standing there, kind of looked at our boarding passes and waved us through. there was some minimal metal detector work and then we were done.

I regularly get handjobs from the TSA by contrast. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

All steming from the shoe bomber. I wonder what Japan does for security concerns to prevent that stuff -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 08:39 6
