I actually found my own thread again.
Since I fly out of SMF, I see a lot of Folsom escorts (in the professional sense, of course!) flying out in the mornings. Most of them are 1Ks. They check in thru the red carpet lane ..... pull out the 1K card ..... but then spend a heck of a lot of time filling out paperwork since they are carrying weapons.
They usually fly out on the early morning flights .... and they usually are in F.
Often they are on a same-day turn-around, picking up the prisoner and coming home again that same even -- altho then they are stuck in coach (often last row, non-reclining seat) with their "guest" in the middle seat.
