I had to wait a few seconds after the search for the results before I could put on my shoes and get on with my trip. Overall, it took maybe 5 minutes from start to finish. It was worth the trouble just to get a first hand experience of all the hub bub people have been talking about!

Hopefully we all remember who is to blame for all of this, and don't mis-apply our anger and frustration to those tasked with trying to find a happy medium between safety and civil liberties.

Happy travels!!
Put the swabs into an analysis machine?!?! Dear God! We really are guilty until proven innocent any more!

And I have to say- you're so right about remembering who's to blame for these issues. The front line grunt is just doing his job. It's up to us, the American people, to tell he policy makers when there's a problem- not shoot the messenger.
