All kidding aside, I haven't had anything but normal flights. The only thing abnormal is the two hour wait at the gate after checking my bags at the curb. People get up and walk during the flight without getting any sidelong looks. Frankly, I think the media is hyping what's happening at the airports. I don't know if everyone will agree, but that's been my experience, everything is just as before, you just have to wait longer because they asked you get there early.

I agree with your assessment. We've flown four times since 9-11 (though NOT to Reagan National), and once on board, the drill is the same as before 9-11.

I love your suggestion about the string!
