I'm headed back to the US ( New York ) in a few days and I want to know what to expect. You see, here in Europe we've had racial profiling down to a science for years now, so I hardly get checked, but the last few years in the States I've been fearing the random cavity search.
On the news I see people taking off their shoes, belts, brassieres, getting their fingerprints taken, drivers license photos... I hear about people having their precious powerbbooks dropped, being barked at, etc. My girlfriend's father, flying out of New York got "Over here Yassar!" from some security guy, telling him to come over and open his bag (he kinda looks like him though...).
Plus we got the frigging convention, the terrorist threats, philzilla's visit...
Anybody got any travel advice, or fun filled tales?
