OMG. in the USA. The security sections can literally Destroy your vacation.
You may find yourself embarrassed to be a citizen of this country in the face of respectable foreign travelers or even unexperienced domestic travelers.
Pay attention be prepared to face the Home Land Security Force in all its different uniforms. they are there to scare the hell out of everyone to expose the one in a million bad guy. You have no rights your citizenship means nothing. Get that through your head. Do your research to what credentials you will need. what is allowed, packing requirements, follow the regulations exactly, go early get in line, do not get mad, be submissive do as you are told these people can and will get very ugly very fast.
If you are afraid of these people it is for good reason.

You have no rights and will be afforded no respect. Just do everything correctly and you will make it through the security section – until next time.
