An interesting experience happened with me
and safety on my last trip.

Won't mention the airport or the airline but
the person checking me in forgot to ask me
THREE safety questions (for some reason I
have to answer three.) After I got the ticket I said "By the way, yes, I packed my
own luggage. Yes, it was in my possession
at all times and No I did not accept anything
to carry by strangers."

I smiled and ran so fast out of there. Got
my FREE pgrade to first and was afraid to lose it.

Know those safety questions so well I can say them in my sleep. And I do keep my bags with
me at all times.

I remember when I had to check everything
once coming back from Vegas. Got stranded
overnight in Pittsburgh with NOTHING and
had to sleep with some very angry fellow
business travelers in the terminal. The best
behaved were the two kids with the pregnant
mother.
