My daughter and son-in-law flew in from San Francisco to DC (Dulles) yesterday, and I didn’t hear any horror stories. In fact, no mention at all of pat downs, body scans, etc.
Thanks for saying that. My daughter is flying on Tuesday.
I heard a story today from a friend: leaving the FL airport near their vacation place, the husband was waved easily thru the usual security, but SHE was "chosen", and asked to pick her method, picked the xray, not the pat-down. She said the woman administering the xray was gruff and grumpy, but while it annoyed her then, she could laugh about it this a.m.
