CO 165 SJC-EWR this morning (Sunday 9/16):

3rd question asked at check-in:

"Are you carrying any sharp objects?"

Security checked at screener with boarding pass match. Should've been doing this all along.

Flight scheduled for 8 AM. Arrived airport at 5:15. Ungodly non-elite lines for NW. Long non-elite lines for CO, too.

However, I walked right up and was served immediately in the Elite line.

By 5:30, I was eating breakfast, wondering what I was going to do for 2 hours.

Then after I arrived at EWR and drove to PVD to pick up my car. It was either that or stay overnight in EWR, since the late PVD flights were cancelled.

I almost drove off the road staring at the place the WTC used to be.

Tomorrow I'm off to Seattle. On HP (ugh!). I read tonight where they've discontinued all catering. Joy.

Not much seems different -- except that many people seem somber and there are lots of cops around.
