Our frisker seemed a little dazed. I guess you pick up the basics from watching “Cops” and the like, but he did look embarrassed when he frisked my 4-year-old son. My 2-year-old daughter didn’t know how to “assume the position,” so our baggage handler just patted her on the head and sent her on her way. With all the searching and frisking, boarding took 2 1/2 hours.
Onboard, we learned of more new TSA rules (for flights to the U.S. originating abroad). All electronic devices would have to be turned off an hour before landing instead of just on descent. And no one could have a pillow or blanket on their person during the last hour of the flight. Seriously. Cut to my daughter screaming bloody murder as the flight attendant yanks the pillow from under her head. Seriously.
