1) My $200 wedding band doesn't leave my sight at the airport. Put it in the bucket with any lose change and hand it around the outside of the metal detector.

I just went through CRP, Bush and Liberty round trip and NEVER took off watch/ring/belt. Went right through. And yeah, must be nice to make enough $$$ for that kind of hardware. Tenure......
