Fair enough, but there were only two people in the queue ahead of me and I probably waited no more than 2 minutes! I suppose that data point nicely offset that for someone waiting 25 minutes.
I always say "no thanks." You should see the look on the screener's faces when they realize that they can't expect automatic favors from passengers.


BTW: Never forget 1-31-07
