Sitting on the runway for an hour and a half, doing nothing but waiting to start my 14 hour flight was enough to raise my blood pressure to critical mass.

As Ms. Hanni pointed out, it's still all about money. I think the question that has to be asked is "increased security" about increased security or is it a convenient excuse for poor customer service?

"Cattle get treated better"
