Re: How to go through airport security with a team

My particular brand of contact lens solution used to trigger the machines at my local airport. I started putting it in my checked baggage. Make a note of the brands you use of items like this, in case they should get confiscated! There is a full grocery store a few blocks from the venue in St. Louis (Culinaria on 9th) if you need to replace something.
Besides being courteous to people you encounter, be cooperative! If you are pulled aside to be searched for whatever reason, cooperate! Do NOT joke about security threats. It's not a joke as you will quickly discover.
And based on my flights yesterday to St. Louis from Hartford through Chicago, allow for plenty of extra time. Due to lower staffing of air traffic controllers starting this week, both my flights were delayed. Bring something to snack on in case you are delayed, and also have the phone number of any bus or shuttle service you may have booked to pick you up. That way you can call to let them know you are delayed (I was about two hours late by the time I arrived.)
