 Up, up and finally, away! by Geoff_Wright
The security guy said he was going to x-ray my suitcase, and to accompany him to a waiting area, which I did. After the x-ray, I saw my suitcase being thoroughly hand searched. I was then given my ticket back, and thought nothing more about it.
Later, when I went through to departures, I was subjected to further searches, of my hand lggage, and even my camera. A full body search, with the wand, was also carried out. I even had to roll down the front of my trousers, so they could see I had nothing hidden there, LOL! Naturally, shoes are always removed.
I'm not against any form of security searches, but was not expecting this type of search on an internal flight. I had a chat with they security guy, who pointed out that my ticket had been marked at the check-in desk, and therefore wherever I went, I would be subjected to a full search. So now you know!

 the Governor's Office by Jeannette1
Already Sacramento has had an increase in visitors to the State Capitol. I want to give Arnold the benefit of the doubt and I sincerely hope that he will get California out of its crisis.
I still think there is a big danger in electing someone without any political background to run a state as large as California. It's a big gamble. I hope he wins. Leave a Comment

If your visiting during the summer, be prepared for some extremely hot days. It seems that during the summertime months, it is unusual for it NOT to be in the 100 degree range. Leave a Comment

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!!!!!
Just kidding. I think its really funny to read people's warnings and dangers, mine included...like who needs to be told not to get bitten by a dog in Bali. But seriously, Sac is a very safe town. I walk around downbtown at night with my baby in a stroller (yes I do have a 130 lb. dog, but that is niether here nor there!!) and I have never had any problems. Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, Sacramento has it's danger zones. It is not a fantastic idea to be out walking around any part of the city late at night, but that's just common sense. Concentrated areas of crime include the Downtown area, Oak Park (which is making a great come-back, I must say), South Sacramento (there's nothing interesting there, so I'd be surprised to see tourists out that far anyway) and other outlying areas around the central city.

watch out for junkies that hang out in gas station parking lots and on the sides of stores. there are a lot. if you are a girl and happen to pass a group of these hobos, be prepared for some, uh, conversation. Leave a Comment

Just one more tip. Make sure to reserve a campsite as early as you can. This place is so popular, it's booked up for the entire summer usually within the first week of the year. Reservations start January 1st. Leave a Comment

(1) When you find a parking space, check the area for broken glass. The same areas are robbed routinely, and usually several cars are hit at the same time. Streets are cleaned weekly, but glass is a very clear indicator of a danger zone.
(2) Everyone knows not to leave valuables in the car, but it isn't enough here. Don't leave anything in the car. Things you perceive as having no value will get taken. On different occasions, I've had my dog's water bowl taken, a child's gift, and a $1 school notebook.
(3) Leave your car unlocked (I know - it seems irresponsible.) Even with very active security, great lighting, and a gated complex, the only thing that stopped the regular smashing of my car windows was me not locking my car. Thieves still regularly pilfer the car, but I haven't had damage since using this strategy.
(4) Think about what you are really leaving in your car. I recover a lot of purses, backpacks, and computer cases from a park near me. I always try to return the remainders to owners when I can find them. I am shocked at how often people keep their flashdrives (used as backup) WITH their computers (so they are stolen, too). Twice I have recovered big key rings to homes and offices along with plenty of info to get to the home and office.
(5) Put a phone number or email in your stuff so you can be reached if it is recovered. Your name or address are not necessary. A tag on a ring attached to the inside of a purse or backpack would work great.
(6) If your car does get broken in to, don't waste your time calling the police. They will not come. They won't even fill out a report.
(7) Don't underestimate who is robbing your car. Where I live, thieves are not bums or meth addicts: they are kids about 15-25 who work in groups, who are clever, aware, and well-practiced at robbing. They know about computers and credit cards and they never get caught. They are good at robbing places that look very safe - downtown, busy family parks, suburban neighborhoods, etc.
