Trick, repack and rethink your way around the new luggage fees {Gadling}

Jan 30th 2010 7:23AM I work for TSA and it is sad to see the number of people who after all the rules on liquids, metallic objects , shoes etc. still say "I don't know why I can't take this" or hold everyone else up because they "forgot" things were in their pockets, the laptop was left in the bag or they try to wear their flipflops through the metal detector because "these aren't shoes". People--get a grip. Make your trip (and everyone else's) through security easier AND faster by having some common sense. Don't get irrate with us when we are doing our job, double and sometimes triple checking someone, you want to reach your destination in one piece right? Not scattered over the ocean or the countryside.
