Depending on how paranoid you are, Medecos. :D

Though, Kwikset and Schlage are both pretty good as well.

Define paranoid - I have locks, deadbolts, steel doors (except one facing the street), alarm, and firearms. Should I have Medecos :D

Considering I bailed at an HIP point, and the US flight was only delayed by 2 hours (I just decided to fly home out of convenience, as I didn't want to sleep on the floor at LGA for 3 hours before my flight back to IAH), I decided to let it go.

Just used my Office Max rewards dollars and earned more PriorityClub points in the process. If I can snag a few PointSavers in useful areas, that program isn't bad at all.

Pressure pads buried in the yard wired to spotlights? Tripwires?

Yes. PHX-JFK was delayed to the point that it would not arrive at JFK until after Midnight, and I had an 05:50am LGA-IAH (the on-timeness of which appeared in doubt, due to the :rolleyes: weather, and which could have caused me to be very late to work). I just bailed and booked a one-way PHX-IAH. It cost me ~12,000 BD miles, but those would have been surplusage, anyhow, as I now have enough for an F award to Europe, or an F award to S. America and a Cash&Miles C award to Europe.

I understand, sometimes you have to pull the plug to save :rolleyes:

Nope. No motion sensors along the driveway or sidewalk either ;)

Information gathered and sent to the OPSC. Hopefully the resolution of this concern will come quickly. Still showing 100% credit when booking on CO.COm so that does help my case!!

Time to start planning travel to the Yellow-Fever infested areas of the world. I bet the Central African Republic has some intriguing airlines, especially if you opt to sit in the tail-gunner's seat. :D
