I fly through Epply a couple times a year. I'm surprised there were 1000 people airside since the airport is divided. Each airline in that concourse must have had a plane going at that second.
I just wonder how someone goes through the security check point without having to take something off the xray belt. I usually have to wait a minute for the x-ray people to stop talking long enough to look at my stuff and advance it through. Maybe the person just walked through the detector with all the stuff?
Glad i wasn't there. I probably would have ended up on the do-not-fly list for my actions.
