Go in your own plane (if you still have it).
You obviously haven't had to deal with the United States Department of Homeland Security's eApis demands/requirements for cross-border GA flights... both inbound and outbound, BTW.
If I'm departing your illustrious democracy, why should I have to advise the GPS co-ordinates and time (within a 15 minute window) I'll be crossing the border OUTBOUND, and do all this up to 24 hours in advance? Oh. And it must be done on-line only. They will not accept a flight-plan and eApis advice by telephone. Period.
It is onerous enough, by my personal experience, cross-border flights by Canadian private-pilot tourists have fallen by about 50% in the last year alone.

But WHO would want to go to Canada anyway?
Perhaps you didn't notice the word "inbound"?
For me to be "inbound" from Canada, first I would have to go there.
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

QuoteOnly in SC can a thread titled "just to clarify, the TSA is nuts" end up in a debate, and not a series of icons.
I miss the metal detectors. I just waltzed through them, but for some reason am almost always groped around the waist after going through the porno-scanner. I can request a search, but I can request an old-style metal detector.

Does this groping occur at the same airport? If so, then you are probably too hot for the TSA guys to ignore. If at other AP's, then you might look felonious for some reason, and be tripping the profile.
I'm sure that the TSA still have the wand of power available.

So far I have just refused the porno scanner and went right to the groping.
It gives me a chance to make them as uncomfortable as they make passengers.
They normally explain that they are going to give you a pat down, and some basic info about the back of their hands etc.
I respond by licking my lips, looking like I am really excited and saying "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMM Pat down".

>the porno-scanner.
It's that chastity belt. Always confuses them.
I'm pissed. I never get groped. You guys are having ALL the fun.
You remember the story about the guy that got arrested because he got a boner? Only in 'Merica.

It's more fun if you request the groping vs scanning. I've gone through the scanner once and was asked about the metal in my body. I considered that an invasion. It's more fun to be groped in public as Dougie mentioned, while making comments that make them uncomfortable. Just tell them you'd like a "male assist." Depending on the airport (Hartsfield is great at this) they'll proceed to yell "Male Assist!" up and down the line, and then attempt to make you feel small.
Don't whisper, speak up as you say:
"I kinda like this, it's the closest thing to sex I've had today."
"You'll fantasize about me tonight, won't you?"
"mmmmmmmmmm......that's NICE!"
"I've thought about being a TSA officer, I'd love the opportunity to legally grope men all day long."
"While you're there, would you mind scratching....?"
"My girlfriend/wife over there, she likes to watch me with other men."
Leave a tictac or mint in your pocket. It really bothers them when you don't have EVERYTHING including your ticket, out of your pocket. Then invite the TSA officer to fish it out himself.
They are now required to tell you what the pat down entails; it's part of the intimidation process. They no longer allow you to simply say "I understand all that" before they're done with their spiel.
Have fun with it. It's still better than going through the scanner and can be a source of amusement.
They're just doing their job, but that doesn't mean you need to meekly submit.

Me personally, I can't wait until the TSA starts scanning people getting on the jump plane....
Are gonna threaten the pilot with that hook knife? You better not be planning on ramming this plane into something.....
The good news is that everyone should be out by the time the plane crashes into something....

I always opt out of both machines.
It's only reared up at me at two airports (Houston and New Orleans) and in both cases, I escalated it to their supervisors who instructed the newer mutts that one CAN opt-out of both scanners. But, you do have to be willing to accept the pat down... which not unlike you, can have a good time with that.

I wonder if you can opt out of a physical pat down and opt in for a hands off strip search. That would really fuck with em!
