If all went to plan, they let me back in the country again. I was in Toronto for a couple of days. The Sunday five on travel.
1: When did you get your first passport?
2: Have you ever had your luggage opened and searched?
3: Have you been frisked by TSA?
4: Have you ever talked your way onto an earlier plane or train?
5: What is the longest travel delay you have experienced?
My answers:
1: When did you get your first passport? 1990.
2: Have you ever had your luggage opened and searched? A couple of times, once when leaving London, and the last time in some podunk town in the Carolina, the baggage scanner was out of order.
3: Have you been frisked by TSA? A few times. The last time was a couple of months ago, J was at the other house. I said go right ahead, and stood there saying to myself, it is okay to think it but not say it, "this is the most physical contact I have had with another human being in weeks."
4: Have you ever talked your way onto an earlier plane or train? Yes, easier with trains than planes, but I have done both. I am almost always early for my departure.
5: What is the longest travel delay you have experienced? 14 hour, in Denver - the sent us to a hotel 10 miles from the airport at midnight.

1) 1980 for a foreign exchange program in high school to Venezuela (better days there at that time, I winder what has happened to my host family and friends these days)
ReplyDelete2) Yes I have multiple times.
3) Yes I have multiple times, I can attest that large beards are an issue and that profiling is alive and well.
4) Yes
5) I’ve had several overnight delays, everything from weather to mechanical to the Ft Lauderdale airport being shut down due to an active shooter at the baggage claim which left me stranded at Dulles overnight only to arrive at a disaster the next day in Ft Lauderdale with 10s of thousands of the days before bags plus thousands of passengers sitting in the terminal trying to get out from the 24 hours of delay. All I can say is having elite status really helps getting priority in travel changes when something like that occurs. ...oh and the second amendment was written when guns were muskets.
I see your blog daily, it is crispy to study.
