Airport Jedi : Getting Through Airport Security like a VIP

Before going through the security nightmare of the airport first one must buy a ticket.
I suggest you go to matrixflights.com and get the price. Find out the airplane model. Then go to a site like seatexpert.com and find the best seats. Call the airline and tell them the price quoted at matrix and request your seat. Once you have optimized the price and seating arrangements you are ready to prepare for security.

Do not bring any flammable liquids or sharp objects. Make sure you don't have items that will cause trouble at the metal detector. Put tape or some kind of visible marker on your baggage so that when you go through baggage claim it will not be confused with someone else's. It seems like everyone has a black bag with no personalized markings to differentiate it from others. Check the wheels on the suitcase and make sure it can handle the rough ride. BUY EARPLUGS. Carry a toothbrush and some baking soda. (you use fluoride toothpaste that can cause cancer?) Now you are ready for the next stage. Going to the airport.
