      For as long as I can remember, every trip through airport security has been an ordeal. I see many people go through the scanner without issue, and then I go through to see all the alarms go off. Private booth pat-downs, usually involving multiple TSA agents, has been common.

      When you're a big person, those scanners can't "see" all of you, and any areas with increased heat are considered red flags. For me, this meant my inner thighs and waistline lit up on the scanner constantly. I used to joke about it, but the truth is it was never not embarrassing

      After the weight loss, I thought I was free from this. Last year I excitedly went to the airport and was crushed when the same damn thing happened again. I had lost all this weight, but the excess skin was still setting off the same warnings.

      Today, for the first time I can remember, I went through airport security in under five minutes. The scanner revealed no issues, and I just passed right through. No warnings. No angry people in a now clogged line behind me. Step in, step out, done.

      I didn't expect this to hit me as hard as it has. I damn near burst into tears as I stuffed me laptop back into my bag. This is a relatively small thing, but it's years of stress off my shoulder and now I get to come to the airport WAY later than I usually would.

          It's really incredible and awful how much something so seemingly innocuous can cause us so much pain. I'm so happy you don't have to experience that anymore!

          Big things are made of small things. Each little thing makes your life a little better. And anything that reduces stress is a HUGE thing. Happy for you my friend

          This is amazing, and I can totally understand why it would make you feel emotional. The tensions involved in traveling are cranked high enough as it is, without another layer of fear about how you'll be treated at security (and how other people will react to that) on top.
