Waking Up Orwell's annual visit with Paper's Please's Edward Hasbrouk goes over Pan-American travel, border policy and what you can do about TSA's "naughty" lists this Holiday Season. This includes your travel documents, managing your expectation of a grope-worthy experience on US domestic flights and finding out where all your travel data is lodging this Christmas! Buckle your seatbelts, put away the tray tables and get your sick bags ready - it's going to be a turbulent ride.
