I felt simpathy with Martin when reading his article about airport security – shoes off and all – althought I don’t really agree with the procedure he proposes. I don’t want to imagine how intrusive people would become following this method. I do understand that nobody would like to see their airplain blowing up in the middle of the air but there must be another way.
Just explain that I’ve taken 9 flights in the last month and I perfectly understand how tedious is the process of security crossing, very specially when going or passing by the States. But I just wanted to make your live easier by telling you how do I go through screening considerably faster than most of the passangers.
First of all carry with you a bag where you’ll have the books you want to read, cameras and whatever it is you carry and put all the coins, keys, pens and all these useless stuff. You can do that when approaching the security area. Do the same with watch, rings and glasses.
Second of all and very important. Two things you need to wear with you: one is a removable buckle belt – extremely practical – and secondly your Vibram Fivefingers. I’ll publish a more detailed review of them in the future but for now you need to know that they are comfortable in the airport’s floor and most important to the security personnel you are already barefoot!
Just to clarify that these are not mine 
Mines are black, less showy.
So by the time you’ve reached the screening you just need to leave on the tray your belt’s buckle – of course without removing the belt, that’s the whole point – your passport and flight ticket. Put your bag in the X-Ray machine and walk through! You’ll even have great reactions. My favourite one in Atlanta’s international airtport – Those are funky!
