Tell airport security what you think without getting into trouble
For those that get upset while going through airport security, here's a way to make yourself heard without getting pulled aside for questioning. Artist Evan Roth is working on a new project which will bring new excitement to your carry-on luggage. Pack that metal plate into your bag and the message will appear when x-rayed.
The project isn't quite finished yet; Roth still needs an x-ray machine to test the plates out. If you happen to have access to an x-ray machine, he'll give you a set of the plates in exchange for use of the machine. Find out how to email him here. Pretty humorous, although I don't know how TSA officials will feel about it.

I fly with a Captain who has a tin foil skeleton in his bag that fits inside the entire outer pocket.
He has a twisted sense of humor.

I came out of the San Jose Costa Rica airport a few days ago. Security agent that checks the bags etc on the monitor was incredibly busy. Texting on his cell phone that is. He let 3 peoples bags, coats, etc. go through without even a glance at his monitor. The 4th person coughed and he looked at them, then at the monitor for about 3 seconds, then back to finishing his text message.
Hopefully the supervisor there will pay more attention to this as a result of this blog!
