Interesting voicemail from US Air
I'm flying down to CZM on Saturday on US. The other day I came home from the golf course and found a voicemail from the airline--a recording advising me to be sure to bring proof of citizenship. Is this something new? Have they been having problems with people trying to get by on just a driver's license or some such? I'm just curious because, while I plan to bring a passport because it's the easiest, I was surprised to get this message.

Funny you should mention that Biggs. I was just standing in a long line and it occured to me that most folks see a security line.
I see the children and grandchildren of the heros of D-Day and WWII forced into the very type of behaviors the heros of Normandy and countless other places fought and died to eliminate.
