9. Arriving towards the dark hole where all things must pass, remove the infants carseat from stroller (with infant in it) and place on floor.
10. Collapse stroller quickly, folding handlebars, and breaking down all extraneous pieces (baskets) that may enlarge this piece of equipment.
11. Ignore all human around you who are staring with interest, amazement, curiosity or annoyance.
12. Pretend to have extrahuman strength and hoist stroller up onto table to pass through scanning machine.

20. Get carseat, place baby in seat and try to strap in.
21. Get stroller next, open and place carseat in stroller.
22. Cram all your crap back in whatever bags you have.

24. Give baby belt to chew on until you are past the hollering security guards as they push everyone to get your crap and get dressed over on the benches 10-15 feet away.
25. Breathe a sigh of relief. :)
