I’m sitting in Newark airport right now waiting for my connecting flight to Detroit.  Happily, I’m through all the security I points now.  Apparently today is my lucky day because I’ve been stopped and patted down so many times today I’ve lost count.  I think I’ve been through a security point 3 or 4 times today, and each time I’ve been picked out of the crowd, and paid some extra special attention.  Gotta love it when they say, “Please taste the water from your bottle.”  Seriously?  I bought it AFTER the first security point, after I got a full pat down, yet I still needed to drink it in the presence of an agent to prove it wasn’t some clear explosive liquid.

My flight to Detroit is FULL and they are offering $200.00 in travel vouchers if you will offer to get bumped to a later flight.  I can tell you one thing for sure… I’m not offering.  I can’t get out of here fast enough!

I miss home….
