I was, at the time, utterly gobsmacked that they cared so little for security that they'd let unattended luggage make a cross-country flight.
Delta sent my luggage unattended to Moscow after I switched to another flight.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The Seventh is the commuter section of Cincinnati's airport.
Whoever designed that needs to die bloody.

I don't miss flying in and out of Kentucky Cincinnati.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Just about every time I've flown out of the New Orleans airport (like, maybe 12 times out of the 16 or so I've done it), they've taken my carryon for the test where they run a piece of gauze over the zipper pulls with a pair of tongs and then run the gauze through some machine. I've been told that this is testing for either explosive or drug residue. (Different people I've asked about this have given me different answers.) I've never had this happen at any other airport, and I've never seen them test anyone else's luggage.

I had that done at Midway once. Fairly sure its for explosives.

They used to do that to my laptops all the time. Though I've not seen it as much recently.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I had that done at Midway once.
I really don't like that airport.

I've had flights delayed by more than a few minutes exactly twice in my life, and both times involved Chicago connections.
Lesson learned: Don't connect in Chicago.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
God, the communter section of the--what do they call it--Cincinnati/Northern KY Airport? My hometown airport is a dinky little thing (2 gates, I think. Maybe 4.), so flying into EVV I'm always on a puddle-jumper (aka-I'd use my headphones for the half-hour I can, but I can't hear them over the engine), usually out of CVG(?).
Is Chicago the one with the pretty light-show tunnel, or is that Detroit? I get so confused. I've been through all these airports, but almost always as connections (well, once with Detroit as a destination. That sucked a lot. Took forever to get luggage), so I forget which is which pretty fast.

Well, I know that Terminal One at O'Hare has a lightshow. This doesn't mean that Detroit doesn't.
