A friend of mine went out west last week. She flew out of Chicago okay, but lost her purse, so had no ID to show at the airport. She was able to board the plane home with the assistance of a few things she happened to pack. Magazines with her name and address and a bottle of prescription medication. Good to know, right?
Well,one of the things which was suggested to her was to carry with her, a copy of her driver's license. Obviously, not in her purse but in her carry-on so if her ID was lost sometime in the future, she would have a copy of her picture ID with her current address.
I am everyone heard the story of the gentleman who refused the full pat down at the airport and drove to his destination in California instead? Well, there has been a few tips offered on the Internet as to what not to wear at the airport.
There are the old standbys of having as little metal on you as possible and empty your pockets. Then there are some other added precautions
As a woman, it is better to wear pants to a skirt.
Avoid sweat pants and other baggy clothing.
An article by Morris Brown from ezinearticles.com has a few other suggestions for getting through airport security. Avoiding under wire bras (I think most of us girls were aware of this before all the new rules) but also watches and other jewelry.
The other tip I like from this article was to make sure any electronic devices are fully charged so if you are asked to test the device, it will work.
