I fly all the time & come on people, it’s not rocket science to get through security unscathed. Dress properly & don’t argue with them. Just resign yourself to the indignation. The people that slow the line down are the clueless (the majority) & the argumentative. Pack your bags with the assumption that a band of monkeys will inspect it when it is out of your sight.

Wear slip on shoes. And put them on the conveyor SEPARATELY – not in a bin.
Don’t carry a laptop if you can possibly avoid it - my Blackberry is my road machine now.
Get a passport & use it - only the US accepts anything other than a passport anyway.
Wear a belt that has a small buckle & 98% of the time you won’t have to take it off.
And do you really have to drink some stupid water while you’re in a security line up for 20 minutes? Are you that friggin’ thirsty?
I don't even have to bag toiletries. I brush my teeth dry (no toothpaste) & use hard stick BO juice.

I never have to endure a secondary check.
