21. Oh you'd be surprised what happens in airports
They'll pull you aside for not looking like your name. I'm darker than the darkest arab, but I still have a Christian name that can best be described as "presidential". The TSA always thinks I'm suspicious. They get really flustered when they hear my southwestern Pennsylvanian accent.

Recently I've started wearing a cross chain but people still don't get it.

On a related note, I'm not sure how strong airline security really is, because I found out that my suitcase took a different flight than me to the same city. That makes me feel real safe.
