I’ll be flying this December. I plan to actually tell the TSA agents “I consent to a pat down so long as it performed by a female agent- preferably one with thigh high boots and a Russian accent.”

In the past I have-

Had to explain that my luggage was moving because I forgot to take the batteries out of a sound-activated crawling zombie hand

Dazzled TSA agents with my Star Wars watch and Gollum ring.
