I'd arrived at the Miami International Airport half an hour before my flight, the place was packed. I negotiated the E-ticket area pretty quickly but ran into a security line of over a hundred people. As I stood there creeping toward the gate I broke out of the line, walked up front and simply said to the agent that the gate person told me to ask you to let me through, because of a mistake of theirs. She unhooked the rope and pointed me to a gate! I'll never stand in that line again.
Can we just throw Darryl Strawberry in there for good measure? I swear I thought this thread was gonna be drug related. My mind is permanently in the gutter.
1. Hold on to your belt walking through the security gate and it will not alarm. 2. If security personnel ever pisses you off, look to the person behind you and say, "You know, 90% of airline security workers have never flown, that explains their ignorance." They don't like it very much...
Didn't quite get that far, but they intensified my duffle bag side compartment search. Oh the humiliation!
