Transfer Process

As required by the TSA, during the transfer process, I must pass an interview with a specialized security team (which seems to be common in 2019 but not in 2023 as I was never questioned when I departed from Japan). I was being asked about my belongings, the purpose of my trip, and other trivial things. Luckily, I passed that through very quickly and was welcomed by a disinterested staff who said, "You can't bring water" in a sinister way. However, other ground staff members were friendly, so I gave the ground staff team a score of 34.5/40.

Made with prior communication.

Before boarding, creating videos onboard, and reviewing this flight, I communicated with and/or asked for permission from the airline. This does NOT impede the truth values of the scores and reviews written on this site, as well as in my videos and Instagram posts. As usual, I will never lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.
