Any idea which airports have those?


Yes, from personal experiance I have a very good idea of some of the
airports that have them.

Am I going to publish a list ?

No, (for obvious reasons).

Then perhaps those wallet-sized xrays would be a good idea, after all....

I'm not sure what you mean by that ?

makes a fuss and that is part of the fun as well.

What a weird idea: enjoying an airport experience.

We got used to it visiting prisons in France. However, if your
shoes
don't ring the prison guards don't insist on looking at your shoes.
It turns out that "deck shoes", the kind used on sails boats, don't
have
metal supports and don't ring.

Titanium is not detected either.

Actually it isn't in reality. I have a large piece in my leg and it
has yet to be detected by a scanner.


Actually it is in reality, I have a large piece in my body and it
sometimes
gets detected.

at which airports?


I think that I've already said that I'm not going to say.

No, (for obvious reasons).

I'll draw my own conclusion.


a) That I'm concerned about letting out potentially useful information to
baddies.
b) That I am a liar.

I definitely enjoy some airports, but a lot depends on the check-in,
security and boarding experience.

Hey, one makes do with what is at hand. I long ago
decided that laughing about the inanities and annoyances
of travel was better than bemoaning them. Since one can
rarely, if ever, do anything constructive about them.

You're right, of course. And your policy applies well to more aspects
of life than travel.

My airport strategy is to operate at the lowest level of consciousness
that I can achieve, and treat it as rest time.

And I rather enjoy watching someone stamping feet and
making a scene.

That sort of thing makes me want to philosophise.
