Anyone flown within the US in the last few days?

See post #11.

I was kidding. Because you’d just gotten through saying… never mind. Glad all is well. Happy new year, and all of that.

I flew from Tampa to Atlanta Tuesday afternoon. Security wasn’t visibly different than it was when I flew to Tampa on the 24th.

I flew from La Guardia to O’Hare today (I’m at a Chili’s in the United terminal right now :p). Getting through security didn’t take any longer than usual, and the only noticeable differencce was the TSA person doing random pat-downs at the gate.

Flew out of Bush-Houston (IAH) that Monday. I got there about an hour before my flight and made it up to the gate just as they were announcing general boarding. It was pretty crowded, for being as sugar and spice noted, the Monday after a holiday, but not very bad. The sign coming into the airport announced threat level ORANGE but I don’t think I’ve seen that change in 6 years. The screeners were friendly and pushed us through. I was stuck in a herd that was fairly familiar with the airport drill so we had a line of beltless, shoeless, unzipped people waddling up to the screeners.

On the 22nd, I noticed that the ORANGE threat level sign coming into IAH was a permanent sign, not electronic. Go figure.

Huh. The natural follow-up, why even bother with a system then?

Perhaps to remind us that we are living in a state of heightened insecurity :rolleyes:
