How Early Should You Arrive At Airport

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Well, the people in Europe was just as shocked that a Canadian could afford to go to Europe...so they did not know what protocol to use!

Thanks for the responses. Do you all walk through the scanner, or opt out? Just curious as I've head the scanner is not good for you, but that opting out means you get groped...

Depends on how long the lines are and who's doing the groping

Beat a TSA agent with Fatty's leg. That will get you through everytime.

If I bring canned tuna and a can opener in with my carry on baggage, do you think TSA will make an issue out of the can opener?

No, but I'm assuming your not leaving the country and make sure it is a turn key opener.

This your first time flying? Just be courteous and it will be an easy experience.

No, but the first time since all the TSA regulations went into effect

I can't decide if this is a serious question or not.

Are you that committed to eating canned tuna that you have to bring a sharp metallic object to the airport and try to take it through security with you? Can you sacrifice and just eat something else on that particular day? They do sell food once you get past security.

You can't take drinks through security either, by the way.

...this time around. TSA sees so many people in a day give them a break with the can opener. It will make their jobs easier.

I also don't enjoy being behind the person with a sharp metal object in their carry on. The line tends to slow down.

I can tell you from personal experience that you can't bring a brick in your carry on luggage.

It was a serious question as I'm trying to eat healthy over that weekend and also save some money.

Then buy the tuna in a bag.

But, on another note, I hope the tuna is for your destination and not the plane. If it's for destination, just buy some when you get there. It's a couple bucks. Don't open it on the plane. That stuff stinks and would be really uncool to do to fellow passengers.

lol yeah, I wouldn't subject people to that.

Does the U.S. Gov still have restrictions on the amount of currency one leaves the country with?

Not sure, but it might be $10k. If I remember correctly, the customs paperwork going to and coming back from Japan always asked if you had more than $10k on your possession. Also, if you bought more than $400 worth of stuff.

Any of you avoid checking luggage when just going away for 1-3 days?

I travel a lot and I always check my bag. It's free for me and I'm a lazy luggage packer. I do work with an engineer I travel with frequently and he does nothing but carry on luggage unless it's for a trip of over 7 days or if we are going where he can kite board. But even then his kit board equipment is his only checked luggage. He has his thing down to a science. He even packs his Playstation 3 in his carry on.

It saves him a lot of time coming home (he has to wait on me at the destination for my luggage which annoys him), and he is able to change flights because he doesn't have checked luggage to worry about. As I said before I'm lazy about packing, it's free for me, and I don't have to drag around another piece of luggage in the airport. My backpack is enough for me.
