The wife and I love to travel, but we hate the process of flying. It’s no so much the security, as much as it is the other travelers. We’re all entitled to a bad day going through security; I one time headed through security with a paring knife in my bag. It was an honest mistake, and the TSA agent was nice enough to NOT throw me in jail. Sometimes, though, it’s as if travelers haven’t flown in so long that they are still expecting to light up their cigarette while the stewardess (note: not flight attendant) give the kids on board a tour of the cockpit.
While not everyone is completely inept through the process, there always seems to be SOMEONE that makes everything “that much” harder on everyone else. On CNN.com today, there was a blog about etiquette regarding your bags while traveling. Take a look, and good luck on your next flight.
