Oh, come on! They delayed the flight for 1 hour and 15 minutes while they questioned him. Couldn't they have verified his identity in that length of time? Couldn't they have called the Secret Service at the White House and just gotten some supervisor on the phone to say, "Sure, I know Bob" (or whatever his name is)?

This is simply outrageous and idiotic. If a Secret Service agent has to suffer like this, you can imagine what we will have to go through. (And I'm going to the airport tomorrow morning.)
