I flew from Oakland to LAX this afternoon, and then connected to Las Vegas, where I'm visiting with friends tonight. Along the way, though, I encountered a new airport experience at OAK.

I had just checked in and taken a seat in the waiting area next to the gate. I noticed a gentleman on his knees, going through his suitcase, betweeen the seating area and the windows. I just figured he was rearranging his luggage. Wrong!

He took his shirt off.
He took his t shirt off.
He sprayed himself with deodorant.
He put a new shirt on.

Now, the bathroom was within eyesight and there was plenty of time until departure.

To me this is unusual airport behavior. Has anyone seen something like this before?
