Gate Checks?
Since the gate checks has been "expanded", I haven't noticed any of them (oops, probably just jinixed myself). How about you? If they're that rare, that program would probably fail. Or, maybe so many people protested against that, including gate agents, that they scrapped the idea to do gate checks? Whaddya think?
Also, I was thinking... we're VERY lucky that we don't have to go through security when transferring to another plane at a "hub" airport. Very lucky. I wonder how long until they begin requiring us to go out and through security again whenever changing a plane (even though we'll be exiting the plane in the "sterile" area and in most airports, don't have to even leave the sterile area).
