I'm with you, one time I got dropped of at BOS and realized I had forgotten my wallet. I was able to call my friend who came back, took me home and brought me back to the airport. The only thing it cost me was the opportunity to board an earlier flight.
My last flight was a 6:15 AM flight to MKE, got to the gate by 4:35; about 20 minutes later the security line was up the stairs while Mom and I were enjoying a beverage in a comfy chair near the gate. Would have much rather been in that situation than standing in line for 25 minutes to clear security.
Sure, it didn't change the time it took me to get to MKE any but it did reduce any anxiety Mom or I might have had.
