[QUOTE="_Snake_, post: 15580519, member: 159147"] I realized I don't travel / fly well, and avoid traveling by air if possible. :) Back when I was, I randomly got picked six flights in a row for additional security screenings. If there's luggage to lose, it's usually mine. And I've been bumped more times than I like to remember. One of those instances that stands out: I had to fly from Philly to Atlanta for the first day of a new job. It was two hours to Philly from my home, so I kenneled my dogs late Sunday morning and trekked up to Philly for an early afternoon flight. After parking my car and going through all of the pre-flight stuff (baggage check, security screenings, etc), I get to the gate and learn I might not have a seat. Turns out that I didn't (oversold), but there was another flight leaving later in the evening that MIGHT be able to accommodate me. I struck out there, too. And then got shot down when I explained my situation and inquired about a hotel comp. My choices were to sleep in the terminal, pay for a hotel room in Philly, or drive two hours home and two hours back. And still had to call my new employer to tell them I wasn't going to be there on the first day. So I can definitely empathize with this passenger. But even with all of my bad experiences, I've never had security called on me. lol [/QUOTE]
