What do you need to know about airport security?

If you haven't flown in a while, this is a good article to read to prepare for your upcoming flight. Airport security has tightened in the last few years and with the attempt of the "underwear bomber" to blow up a plane bound for Detroit in December, whole body scanners will soon be introduced at many airports world wide.

In the meantime, this article from the Independent Traveler is a good review of what you can and can't bring on a plane. I thought I knew the rules, until in November, when I tried to bring a container of yogurt through security for breakfast. Obviously yogurt and even peanut butter, are on the list of "liquids" that can't be over 3 ounces.
