I go through airport security once a week.
Dealing with the morons in line sucks a lot more than the hassle of security procedures.
And please... have a little more faith in the process guys. Believe it or not, they're actually trying to keep people safe.

I'm going to have to whole-heartedly agree with Destro. Dealing with the security is a small price to pay for some added security, it's the moronic folks in line that create the hassles and delays.
BTW, its good to have found my long lost twin.

actually, dealing with the people who work at the airport in general is the biggest downer about the place. It's why I can't stand flying, and avoid it as much as possible. I'm happy they have automatic ticketing now. I don't give a crap about security one way or the other. People at security have become politer since 9/11. I just wish I could check my luggage and expect to get it back like I used to be able to.
People constantly being asses to me when I haven't given any offense for hours on end is what I can't stand. If I treated people at my job like I get treated at the airport, I'd probably get fired.
Thoth,
I'm glad so few people actually use this avatar for their profile, but I'm happy to share it with someone who can get down with the Hyborian Age.
Never mind me. Sorry to sound like such an ass.
I just really hate the airport.
Not at all; I agree. Customer service should not be accomplished with a sneer, or a smirk. I don't care if they don't smile, but they shouldn't rub it in when you're stranded, and then gloat when there are no other flights. Likewise, when I get pulled over for speeding, I'd be a lot happier if I didn't always get the sarcastic "Where are you going in such a BIG HURRY?" I know I've been tagged with the Random Driving Tax; there's no need to rub it in.

I have a frined named Keegan who seems to be a cop magnet.
He has been pulled over three times in the last month as part of a 'random search initiative' or some such nonsense.
The latest time, the cop walked up to his door and made him roll down the window. The cop then proceeded to stick his head in the car, sniff loudly, and inquire, "YOU BEEN SMOKIN' THE REEFER, BOY?"
Keegan replied that he had not, at which the cop whirled around and left.
As an aside, NO, Keegan was NOT smokin' the reefer, nor did it appear that he was.

This didn't happen to occur in Vermont did it? Did the officer say "meow"?
Just checkin'...
(On topic:) I haven't really had any problems in the airport. Yet.

No, and his shenanigans were NOT cheeky and fun. Just illegal and unconstiturional.

His shenanigans are cruel and tragic.

If anyone does decide to brave an airport and is going to Pattaya, Thailand, I know a good restaurant there.

Aw hell. You win.

That's what they all say, until someone loses an eye.
And handing ME a pistol is a good way for that to happen--especially if I'm trying to fire a warning shot (or just checking to see if the safety's on).
A friend of mine got his eyebrow stud torn out in a bar brawl. Most horrific thing I've ever seen. *shudder*
Don't know exactly why I'm asking, but... what actually happened that made it so gory?

Now I must be getting tired, the word stud evaded me three times while I read it over and over with the strange mental image of someone actually getting their eyebrows ripped off.
But ouch, I know someone who experienced that (as an accident), and while I didn't see it, I have seen the scar.

For all intents and purposes, that was actually what happened, along with parts of his eyelid - the damn stud probably got stuck on something. I actually wanted an eyebrow piercing for the longest time, but not after that...
