I was subject to a very thorough pat down.
Later, while I was still quite pissed- I learned it was because I had an underarmor fleece on, and it seemed “weird to the full body scanner.”Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -

Miami has been fun for me also. I tried flying from Miami with hand tools in my carry on. TSA regs state hand tools 7 inches or shorter are allowed but final decision rests with the TSA officer. I've flown several times with the same tools. Miami TSA screener told me I could not have them in carry on. I didn't want to pay $35 to check a bag, so what were my options? Remembering my TWIC card is issued by TSA, I told the screener I have a TSA security clearance card and gave him my TWIC.
His supervisor quickly cleared me with the tools and told me to have a nice flight. It was kind of funny.Plantfoam Thanks this. -
Just booked a flight, used my Twic number for the known traveler express check in whatever the hell it was, and it took the number!
GUYS! I DONT HAVE TO TAKE MY SHOES OFF!

Plus you don't have to go through the millimeter wave scanner, which always gives me false positives, and then someone has to brush my scrotum with the back of their hand.
