Oh well. While the trip through airport security was typically arduous, it wasn't exceptional. I did pop the metal detector, but was then only subjected to a quick pat down of my upper body. Which I guess means that any weaponry should be smuggled aboard in your pants' pockets. Good to know.
One thing I wasn't expecting though. Being in motion but visually stuck in the cabin is making me a little queasy. My eyes are unable to compensate for my lack of balance. It's not a horrible sensation. More like that feeling you get when an elevator takes off too quickly. But it seems it's going to last the whole flight, rather than a few seconds. One more thing to get used to I guess.
