On the way home tonight from Manhattan, the news said the delays at LaGuardia (didn't specify which terminal) were running four hours into security because of the fact that all the gifts had to be unwrapped.

What are people thinking? This is why the elite lines move so much faster. Even if you are at the end of a four hour line, couldn't somebody walk through and say unwrap your gifts?

Not only that, when the lines are that long they have to be outside for part of it, and it was cold today.

As the story says:

This holiday season, more than ever, in some cases, unwrapping gifts three separate times — at the counter, at security, and at the gate.

But they won't get an argument from holiday traveler Tin Woloszyn, even though airport security unwrapped ten of her gifts.

"I think they should have to go through it," she said. "For the security."

Lets see, O'hare is expecting 205,000 passengers through the terminals today. If each has ten wrapped gifts, that have to be gone through three times, it's easy to see why there are so many delays.
