Minneapolis / St. Paul
Many of you know that I didn't fly for years after 9/11. The security measures were so intrusive that I preferred driving, and my lifestyle was compatible with taking the time to drive around when I wanted to be elsewhere.

Work now requires more travel than I'm used to and doesn't allow the time to drive everywhere. The security nonsense is less offensive than it was initially, but it seems that I have the worst luck of my life on general travel problems. Recently I spent 12 hours hanging out in a Detroit airport. Today I tried to fly to Louisville, KY and ended up missing my connection from Minneapolis / St. Pual by minutes. So now I'm in a crappy Days Inn waiting on a flight in the morning. They took three hours to find one of my two bags for me. The other is missing, potentially permanently. If it doesn't just appear on my connection in the morning it is probably lost.

Suck. If anyone reading is near this airport and wants to meet up for breakfast, holler at 626-705-6996 .

Don't give up hope on the third bag. It might be in Louisville waiting for you.

Sorry about the travel situation. Perhaps it is time to catch up with your back-issue Joe reading. :)

I've been keeping up with the issues as they've been announced. I don't generally even look at lj at work, but everything pretty much grinds to a halt for joe.

$50 to the charity of your choice if you kick off at the airport on the basis that it's every american's duty to take his gun with him on a plane in the interests of personal and national defence.

after all, if that militia crap flies in a muddy ditch somewhere in michigan it's twice as true on an aeroplane :)

Arming every passenger would definitely stop hijackings. After all, there are no hijackings in Texas where everybody can carry a loaded handgun around. Of course there would be so much ruckus of a different nature...
