Michael, lol!  yes, we generally have a bunch of agents suddenly regressing 
to childhood and some getting on the floor with him--very refreshing.  lol!

The best is when Africa totally flips on her back, all four paws in the air,
and starts nibbling on a TSA agent's fingers.  Even the other agents stop
what they are doing and come over to get in on the act.

Arrow thinks the agents wish to play with him and he doles out generous
kisses and tries to get in agents' laps.

I use the same method as Mike.  Benny loves the pat-down.  He's apt to
hand out free kisses to the person doing the patting.

It's a considerable relief to me to know I won't get X-rayed every time I
go to the airport.
