Ironically our flight was full and his seat number for SAN-IAH was the only empty one on our flight.

How can this happen in 2013? Especially as they seemed to have extra security in place in the SAN airport this morning.

I once got on a plane where the FA announcement went something like this:

"Welcome aboard this flight to JFK. If your destination isn't JFK, well, it is now..."
