she said, "dont worry i found this secret place that is awesome."

this is the part where i get a little confused. about a minute walk from the E-PC there is an exit to a parking garage. there are a few benches and ashtrays out side the doorway. i belive you walk on that bridge near the E-PC and take the exit to the parking lot.

when re-entering, there is a dedicated security area for the handful of people entering the terminal from that little lot. we walked straight through security instantly. the beauty of that was that our hand baggage was safe and secure in the PC , so it was mearly a matter of going through the detector and taking the one minute walk back to bar where charlie was eagerly awaiting our return with fresh drinks.

that's about as good as its going to get at IAH.

one note.... dont forget your BP or you will be stuck. there are no e-kiosks located at this area. i believe this secret entrance is for people who frequently park in this garage and checkin online.
