Not to thread-jack, but we flew in January 2002, just months after 9/11. Things were still pretty intense at the airports. It was also pre-all shoes off and in a bin days. My oldest DS wore a pair of cargo-type pants with about 20 metal zippers and a pair of boots with metal rods in the soles. My youngest DS had an old cell phone in his pocket (I didn't know this). I had rolls of quarters and pennies in my carry-on, shoes with metal rods. We were all pulled aside. We were all wanded, shoes re-screened, bags searched. Good thing we got there really early. My mom was the only one not searched. Needless to say, before we left the resort for the return, I made sure the boys were wearing the proper shoes, pants, etc. I searched pockets and bags. I didn't want to go through that again.
Now I almost dump my bags in the bin. I don't want to go through that again.
