On my way down to a Florida pleasure trip recently, my companion was taken out of line going through security, taken in a room and searched.  As it turned out, red flags were raised because he had wet tissues in his pockets, as he has some troublesome allergies.  He was strip searched,  frisked, and checked for bomb making residue. The TSA agents were quick, respectful, and professional.   Lesson learned; empty your pockets of EVERYTHING!!!  I found this link to console him after his ordeal, the interesting story of Jonah Falcon, supposed owner of an unusually large stumbling block to boarding in San Francisco.  Enjoy the story here at The Huffington Post: HERE
