Not too bad anymore
Don't bring any type of screwdriver, leatherman, pocketknife or literally anything with an edge that could possibly cut someone. They even took my necklace pendant since it had a few edges on it. Computers and electronics are fine you may have to turn them on and demonstrate them and check them for explosive residue. I travel every other weekend and it normally takes about an extra 40 minutes so be there at least an hour and half before your scheduled departure in case the security line is really long or parking is full.

We just flew down from LaGuardia to Orlando for KSC.. my advice?
-If you're bringing a large team, get there 2-3 hours before your flight takes off. Get your boarding pass and go immediately through the security check, since they can and will make you miss your flight if you don't. -CD players are fine, Game Boys are fine, etc, etc. If you bring a laptop, you have to take it out of the case and place it seperately on a tray to go through the x-ray machine. -Carry-ons are fine; two a person, though. -If you're bringing any electrical equipment with you on the plane, any tools, anything with loose wires, anything that looks like it could be used for malicious intentions, tell the people at the counter about it. Usually they'll just tell you to check it. Enjoy your trip.

check everything but a cd player, book, laptop, or something else that you will use on the plane. makes it so mch easier. also, don't pack anything that you don't want the entire world to see. also, NO SHARP EDGES. otherwise, you should be fine. also, dont' taunt the national gaurdsmen

steve "dabruteforceduy' bennet. he's a 9th grader on our team, and before the robot was complete, we had the compressor wire tied down to the robot, and steve just walks up with a pair of dikes, and cuts the wire ties, and the compressor almost fell on the floor. no reason whatsoever, so we make fun of him for it.
