Only story I have is a couple of years ago I was flying LAX to SEA. I was running late and it was the last flight going out that night. Before I checked my bags and notice a cute girl in front of me doing the same. When I check my bags they inform me that the bags will probably miss the flight and I along with my bags will have to leave tomorrow. I said I would still try to make the flight though. When I get in line for the TSA, I start talking to the girl and realize we are on the same flight and how we have no idea if our bags are going to make the flight or if we will. An older couple ahead of us in line hear this(we were at the corner of the back and forth and they were one row ahead of us). I think the older couple thinks I was with this girl and on vacation together to meet my family or something and about to miss it. The two women try to flag down TSA. Because of a bad experience with TSA coming out of Las Vegas, I was thinking this was only going to make matters worse but just let them try. We were already both told there is almost no chance we will make the flgiht. To my surprise everyone in line was start telling TSA let us go. (I also think our bags had been loaded and they weren't able to talk off without us.) To my surprise, TSA took us out of the line, rushed us through security. We both ran down the halls of LAX. We made our flight. Unfortunately, she sat in the front of coach while I sat in the back and it was a full plane. But if it wasn't for this girl, that older couple, TSA, the airlines counter working allowing us to try to get there and the plane waiting for us I would have missed my cousin's college graduation. So thats my nice little story.
