A group of young men sitting behind me had hoped to take advantage of the free alcohol served throughout the long flight, but they were told by staff that the authorities "wouldn't be happy if they continued".

grrrr

I was returning from a hunting trip from Texas last year, and checking my rifles was a nightmare. We almost missed our flight.

While in the non-profiling shoe removal line at Bush International, I noticed my favorite assisted opening knife, (6 inch tanto blade), was in my pocket. I was devastated since there was no way I could go back and check it and make my flight. I bet my hunting buddy a coffee at Starbucks that I could get it through security and placed it in my carry on. The guy in front of me got hassled about something in his bag and I wanted to up the ante because I knew the dumb ass on the machine was not going to needlessly hassle two people in a row and I was right.

My friend was pissed. Like the system failed.

It was the safest I've ever felt on an airplane.
