Security from my trip yesterday.<\/p>\n

Denver<\/u><\/p>\n

  • Arriving at the airport at 5:30a may suck in many ways, but it sure gets you through lines quickly.\n
  • They’re still checking out the trunks of cars if they’re going into the parking garage, though there are rumors that will be dropped soon.\n
  • Professional, quick, friendly and thorough security lines.\n
  • Lots of TSA folks. They’ve also expanded the area at DIA for the security checkpoint, taking out the old phone\/ATM banks (which are being moved elsewhere).\n
  • My notebook computer got swabbed, but I did not personally trigger any sort of alarm going through.<\/p>\n

    Los Angeles<\/u><\/p>\n

  • More squished space to work in, but lines moved quickly, there were plenty of TSA personnel, and they were friendly and professional and thorough, too.\n
  • My notebook computer got swabbed, but I did not personally trigger any sort of alarm going through.\n
  • Unlike Denver, I had to run my sports coat through the X-ray machine.\n
  • Unlike Denver, they wanted my PDA, cell phone, change, etc., in a different bin than my notebook.\n
  • For the first time ever, someone actually dug through my brief case to figure out what that mass of cables was. It’s, well, a mass of cables (phone line, Ethernet cable, mouse, power adapter lines for the notebook, recharger for my Palm, connecting cable for my Palm, recharger for my cell phone, three-way plug, etc.). Everyone always stops and stares at the X-ray picture for a while, but the folks at LA finally took a real look at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
