I always wear the same outfit when I fly. Sports bra with no metal, one specific baggy tank top, and leggings. It's like my own personal experiment. So far I've been flagged randomly and patted down on my chest several times, my collarbones twice, my crotch a couple times, and weirdly this last time on my inner left knee? Like y'all would SEE if I had something under my leggings, I promise you.

I usually dress minimalist as well. I also wear vibram five fingers (the weird foot glove shoes). I had a TSA agent tell me to take them off the last trip when everyone else was keeping theirs on. Like, am I going to hide a bomb in the toes of my shoes? I can't wait to get further in my transition and get more scrutiny going through security -_-
