Well, I was wary before my trip to Las Vegas last June (admitteldy before this summer's "liquid scare") but it went surprisingly well. US security levels are barely reaching those we've been used to for years in Europe.

And I did both an international trip and a domestic one, and it was pretty similar in each case.

Admittedly, on the international leg, I has access to the business class counters despite flying economy (thanks to my frquent flyer card) and that really shortens the wait at the counter.

But it's not unpleasant yet, unless you're specifically targetted for more invasive stuff.
