Subject: travel report from San Diego
Dave,
We flew from San Deigo to Boston, via Philly, on the Friday night
redeye. A few things to report:
No delays at San Diego airport - it was empty. The TSA inspectors
were thorough, but more friendly than usual - actually somewhat
apologetic about how the rules were changing minute by minute.
Two of three bags made it to Boston ok. The third one apparently was
singled out for hand inspection and got to us late (dealing with US
Air baggage services was a real pain, but we finally got the bag
ok). The bag in question was the one we'd thrown all our toiletries
into at the last moment (including liquids, gels, what have you).
When we got it back, everything was where it had been, with the
addition of a notecard from TSA saying that "by law we have to search
checked baggage" and "yours was singled out for hand search." Very
polite, very well done - and it actually put to rest the concern that
I'd been wondering about, to wit, ok, now all this stuff is going
into checked baggage - does that get searched or has the risk just
gone up?
Cheers,
Miles
