This is where we the frequent flier will chronolog our stories from our flights which happen quite regularly. So there is very little that we do not come across.

Midwest express

To the overly kind tall lady at the gate in Green Bay today. Thank you
for your over-communicatiion to everyone, customers and the TSA alike.
Not too mention you complete understanding of the standard boarding
process and making sure customers got their ticket stubs so that they
have a receipt that shows they took their flight, just in case something
that might be beyond your control happens and a customer needs the
standard documentation that they actually took the flight. Let us not
forget, that someone might just have an affliction and need to collect
these stubs.

EXSTREME SARCASM!

This lady was so rude and shocked that I would want a receipt that she
completely lost it and practically threw the entire ticket at me.

Random screenings

More randomness in the screening process...

We are now back to random screenings at the gate. The old rules for
selection apply. ;) However, which bag of yours they check is completely
random. Say for instance I have my backpack and a roll-a-board, it is up
to the agent which bag the check. Much to my surprise when I was
selected, a very cusory scan of my backpack was performed with zero
interest in my roll-a-board. I found this very strange with the current
fanatacism about liquids, since the roller is more likely to have
liquids in it then my backpack.
