    Well, I would advise that you don't make any jokes at security, tempting as it amy be-they really don't have a sense of humour about those things. A friend of mine's father, getting rather ticked off with the security procedures when he took a flight, responded to the standard 'who packed these bags?' with a sarcastic 'Oh, I got some middle eastern guy to do it'. Sounds funny, but he wasn't laughing so hard when they refused to let him on the 'plane.

    lol, I don't plan on saying s#17 unless they feel me up if they decide to frisk me, then it's "Whoa, wait a minute. I got no qualms about suing you for sexual harassment buddy." And the thing is, I would.

    Oh, and any tips on getting through Airport security as painless as possible? I was thinking that I'll just wear jeans and a white tshirt and my boots, and the only thing not in my luggage or carry on would be my passport.
    Don't wear a metal belt buckle. I did and the alarm went off. I had to remove my belt. Then I got frisked by some huge black guy. Then they searched my backpack. Then my jeans nearly fell down, because of a lack of belt.

    Have fun! I wouldn't dream of celebrating!
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Have fun! I hear you can drink beer at a much younger age (as opposed to 21 here in the good ole USA).

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    Yup, a child can drink beer here in public if supervised by a parent or guardian.
