The guy in front of me this morning at OAK, lost his shampoo, shave cream, toothpaste and they may have had a 4th item just to be punative. He just looked at me and said I forgot and haven't travelled since 8/10.

2 weeks ago at DFW one of my teammates lost her eye-color makeup. She said she was tired of it anyway. the screener said "We find eveything at DFW we run a tight station".


I have a warm, fuzzy, secure womb like feeling (NOT!)
