I booked my flight for early morning & I noted that you can now bring up to 16oz of liquid items on Delta. ( oh- that is for checked baggage)

We never get there that early- but we haven’t had trouble- H did tell me that at sea-tac you either get groped or have to go through the body scanner.
I didn’t want to do either- plus I decided I can’t get away with just taking my iphone, I now want to bring my 13" laptop ( in case I can’t sleep & want to watch a movie)
At least it will be summer, ( or almost) so I won’t have to bring heavy coats or shoes.

I wonder if I wear my Vibrams- five fingers if I will still have to take them off- or if I should just wear slip ons?

I tried to talk H into going with me- but he said he has no desire to go to Detroit, not even to see a ukelele concert!

I also feel better about the flight- it made me a little nervous when I heard they had to do a visual inspection of all 737s because of rivet holes, but Delta doesn’t paint their planes which makes them easier to inspect.
