This year marks my fourth cancerversary, and in celebration of that milestone, I've decided to take a trip overseas. The destination is one that's been on my bucket list for a very long time. I'm excited to finally have a chance to cross off that item and add it to the list of completed adventures. Although my trip won't be until the latter part of October, I'm planning ahead. But there's a problem. This trip requires flying for about 18 hours and will take me into a country with very tight security restrictions. I've never flown with my silicone girls before, and quite frankly, I'm nervous.
With recent bombings, shootings and other incidents in our world today, airports have taken it upon themselves to beef up security procedures in order to keep travelers safe. The guidelines are provided by the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration.
To say I have concerns about going through airport security is an understatement.
