    Naturally, but I still enjoy options. Personally, I would take the check to ensure I was less likely to be hassled come departure time. And while I would clearly not be comfortable letting some airport [ToS Violation] touch my genitals, my aversion to the porno scanners is primarily their lack of safety regulation. They would actually be my second choice.

    A Canadian business man was arrested recently and had his house searched because he told some co-workers who were headed to a conference to "blow away the competition".

    There are quite literally some things you just cannot say any longer.

    I have a Nexus card. To get it, I had to pass both a Canadian and US background check. The TSA folks refused my card as ID, they had no idea what it was.

    I would rather flash my bits than wait 4 weeks for something that will inevitably get lost in the post anyway....I would strike "Hogan Victory pose" whilst being scanned if it would speed things up!

    ID card that enables you to bypass human border control in Canada and the US. To get one, you must be vetted by both sides. TSA is supposed to accept them as ID. And it is proof that you are a trusted traveller.

    Well your typical martial arts practitioner is basically volunteering to either be beaten up several times per week or to be the one handing out the beatings or otherwise put their bodies through some fairly harsh training.

    Not exactly a "normal" way to spend an evening or a weekend is it.

    Haha, ya know it might be worth it if you did that. It seems like the sorta thing you'd want your friends to film and Youtube though.
