I agree...unfortunately, work takes me to STL several times a year (and that is looking to increase). I usually take the first flight out, but did not do so today. Took over 45 minutes to clear TSA...seems the X-ray that receives travelers from the Elite line is the designated trainee lane. Every single bag through this morning was pulled for some form of secondary check; until the TDC finally got pissed off and stalked over, saying "don't worry folks, I am tired of this and am going to get this damn line moving; he needs a break".
