That is a brilliant comment. I am going to steal it.

The reat of this thread...

I fly through ORD twice a week. I always use either the premier line for UA near the GS entrance or the lines between A and B. Anyway, I have to say, that I have never had a problem in these lines, ever. If I think back to my domestic flight hassels, it has been over two years since I have been singled out. I really do not see nearly as many people getting pulled to the side.

The single biggest delay in security is simply people lack of organization before hitting the security point. Come on, have your metal removed before you hit the WTMD.

Between my scanfast bag and my ScottEvest jacket, it takes me about 10 seconds to have my shoes in the bin (Stupid rule), jacket with all of my gadgets in it on top of my shoes, laptop bag unfolded, and carry on bag following it through the x-ray machine. it comes through the end and I grab my shoes and everything else as it makes its way through and I am on my way. I still have regular business travelers look at my laptop bag in shock as I slide it through the x-ray.

If I had a dollar for every frequent flier who admonished me to remove my laptop from my computer bag before inserting it into the machine, I would book into business instead of playing the upgrade game.
