The best advice I can give and I fly weekly, is to work the system. I recently had knee surgery and due to all of the god forsaken summer travellers that we business travellers have to put up with this time of year, the security line was out the ass, so I asked for a wheel chair because I couldn't stand in line that long. They wheeled me right up to the front of the line past everyone else. When you're fed up, screw with TSA, limp and get a chair. You know you've seen those post-menopausal women do it who just don't feel like walking down the concourse. I on the other hand actually was recovering from surgery and would have been late due to the summer frenzy. Worked well for me. Try it sometime. It'll make you feel a whole lot better until some genius comes up with a better solution.
Damn. Have a beer (better yet, go out on a limb and have two). Sounds like you're great at your job and sounds like you love it. You must. Is that a pencil box in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? Lighten up a bit. Remember those holiday weekends? Some people use them to actually relax and socialize with others without talking about what they do for a living. Some people have interesting jobs others don't. I believe you might fall into the latter category. Somethings just shouldn't be shared.
The only thing that's going to speed up my life at the airport is paying the $100 and letting the govt intrude even more in my private life by doing a background check so I can speed through those damned security lines faster. Wonder what the stats are on how much faster I'll get through those lines are??? Maybe you can ponder that this lovely holiday weekend....Food for thought.
