Travel Observations

After 8 years, why do people still bitch at the TSA station because they have to take off their shoes, pull out their computers, display their liquids, take off their sports coats, belts, and watches? Even if you dont travel much and are not that versed with the protocols, dont you see the people in front of you doing so?

Yesterday, I traveled through Midway airport. They have an expert traveler line for those that travel as part of their job and know the drill. Dont be insulted or feel demeaned if you decide you dont qualify as a savy traveler. Just use the regular traveler line so us who need to hit a gate running, can do so. Asking if you have to take off your shoes, or stacking your belt and sportscoat on your laptop are dead give aways that your going to holdup things when you are instructed to put your laptop in a bin all by itself.

Kudos to TSA for having the patience to put up with these knuckleheads from minute to minute.
