LOL...those regional jet terminals for Delta really suck don't they!

I hate the Vegas airport. Everything is always delayed.

Don't even get me started on air travel. Know those little swabs they rub on all your stuff? Well they're for explosive detectors in case you didn't know. Since I deal with explosives there was trace residue on all my stuff and since it's not water soluble it doesn't come off. I used to get popped EVERY TIME! Then they unpack all my stuff to make sure there's not a bomb in it and then they call the supervisor over to check on what the deal is. Mean while all the cops are staring at me with hands ready. Now that I'm in Turkey I'm not using C4 on almost a daily basis like I did while in Florida so the residue has somewhat subsided and I haven't set an alarm off in like 7 months.

Imagine stepping off your plane to a group of 17 year old, semi military looking fellows all with AK47 rifles pointed at you. They are not smiling.
Nuff said.

I don't do lots of flying ... but I do remember LAX is always packed, DFW is too spread out and O'Hare always has delays.

Well, not to mention the security check lines! I about shat myself when I saw how big the lines were.
Yeah that too! Fortunately, most of my flights have a stopover in Vegas so I don't have to deal with the security too often. But when I have had to go through those lines they are awful!

It was not that bad but the last time we left Dominican Republic there were a lot of guys with automatic weapons that made me very nervous.
