Was back 'in the saddle' so to speak myself for the first time since September 11: YYZ - HPN - YYZ

Found the entire 'tightened' process on the Canadian end pretty laughable. Was not asked anything differently, no lists of carry-on electronic gear made, check-in agents clowning around about security, x-ray machine attendants 'motivated and alert' as ever etc. The only difference was being asked to present picture ID at boarding - done by the check in agent with a smile and a joke.

HPN (White Plains) was somewhat different with a much tighter 'feel' to the entire process.
