Downsides to flying

        I generally enjoy flying. It is fun to go somewhere and I like looking out the window when it is clear. It is not always clear. The downside of flying for me is the lines for security or customs. They make me nervous. I have nothing to hide, but I have several implants in my body and I always seem to trigger the security machines. I often go too fast due to excitement. The machines don't like that.   The people manning those machines are always nice to me, but I nearly always get patted down and swabbed. I have been known to take my leg braces off, but they still seem to believe I have them on. I imagine I am in the computer. It is fun to watch the dogs sniffing around people and baggage. I really want to pet them in appreciation, but that is not appropriate. I will say I am surprised by a friend who works in security and immigration. He is in plain clothes at work. I never have guessed that.
