If you happen to be unlucky and get someone on a power trip, I suggest you just grin and bare it. When dealing with this type of person I keep reminding myself: 'Hey, I have to deal with this person for 5-10 minutes... Someone is probably married to this person and has to deal with them full time.' At which point I generally start feeling better.

Edit: I'm pretty certain YZE is a typo. If you tell us what the connecting airport is, we can tell you if you will pre clear customs in Canada making your arrival in IAH much quicker.
Wow, sorry about that, it should have been YYZ. Thank you.
